And two messages for the price of one! <i>Excellent!</i><br /><br />I agree about the picture - stumbled across it on the <a href="http://www.lookandlearn.com/if?search=FORSALE&img=0&cat=&bool=and" rel="nofollow"><i>Look & Learn</i> Picture Gallery</a> (<i>Look & Learn</i> was a mag I grew up with as a kid) and found that I could buy it -- and, surprisingly, afford it!!<br /><br />Really hope that The Curse of the Left-Up Xmas Tree doesn't get you! Those baubles can be painful and five-pointed stars are pure agony!Brian Sibleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395103557170474777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-29745731718107775382010-01-08T10:48:34.427+00:002010-01-08T10:48:34.427+00:00Where did you find that marvellous picture of the ...Where did you find that marvellous picture of the three kings?

It lasts for three weeks - first the arrival of the Magi, then this coming Sunday we celebrate the Baptism of Christ and next Sunday the miracle at the wedding in Cana.
