Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and wonderful holiday celebration.
I look back on this year and realize how thankful I am for everything. Wishing you a holiday filled with happiness, health, love, and peace.
A little note on the dove since I love the story behind it:
In Judaism and Christianity, a white dove is generally a sign for peace. The Hebrew Bible describes a story in which a dove was released by Noah after the Great Flood in order to find land. The dove came back carrying an olive branch in its beak, telling Noah that the Great Flood had receded and there was land once again for Man. (Genesis 8:11).
The motif can also represent "hope for peace" and even a peace offering from one man to another, as in the phrase "extend an olive branch". Often, the dove is represented as still in flight to remind the viewer of its role as messenger. "
