This is the first day of Christmas. You can start counting the twelve days now.
Laurent and I pose with organist John after Midnight Mass
at St. Paul's K Street.
Creche under the altar of the Marian shrine at St. Paul's K Street.
Laurent and I at the National Christmas Tree at the White House.
The tree looks better this year than in has the past three years.
This is the painting done in 1515 by Bernardino Luini that was used
for the Christmas stamp this year. It's called the
Madonna of the Carnation, and it's in gallery M18
at the National Gallery of Art.
I was surprised how small the painting is.
It's oil on a small wood panel in a big frame.
