merry christmas from me and the pope

dear internet,

wishing with deepest sincerity that all of you have a very merry christmas filled with much needed rest and lots of laughter.

other than that, i particularly loved this quote from the pope's christmas message:

“Wherever an increasingly uncertain future is regarded with apprehension, even in affluent nations: in each of these places may the Light of Christmas shine forth and encourage all people to do their part in a spirit of authentic solidarity,” the pope said. “If people look only to their own interests, our world will certainly fall apart.”

-Pope Benedict XVI
