Christmas 2022 Photopost (Part 1)

The Twelve Days of Christmas are almost over, so it’s time to do our photoposts before the three kings arrive. There will be one more in this series, and tomorrow, we will post a reminder for the Epiphany. In the meantime, our thanks, as always, to every who sent these in. Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given!
