The world is blessed to have the both of you. Through your writings you have been my mentor on many levels these past 6 years and I thank you for your dedication and service to humanity.
Merry, Merry Christmas Drs Malone! Your faithful followers feel like we can all call you “friends”! We appreciate all you have done and continue to do to educate us and fight for the truth! I personally get so much joy from your homestead posts! And LOVE the photos of your beautiful horses today! You both work so hard all the time and I wish you a peaceful, relaxing Christmas! Joy to all! Merry Christmas!
In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while[1] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register. 4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
The Shepherds and the Angels
8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." 13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14 "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests." 15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about." 16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple
21 On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived. 22 When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord 23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, "Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord"[2]), 24 and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: "a pair of doves or two young pigeons."[3]
25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Messiah. 27 Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, 28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: 29 "Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you may now dismiss[4] your servant in peace. 30 For my eyes have seen your salvation, 31 which you have prepared in the sight of all nations: 32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel." 33 The child's father and mother marveled at what was said about him. 34 Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: "This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, 35 so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too." 36 There was also a prophet, Anna, the daughter of Penuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, 37 and then was a widow until she was eighty-four.[5] She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. 38 Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.
The Return to Nazareth
39 When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth. 40 And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was on him.
The Boy Jesus in the Temple
41 Every year Jesus' parents went to Jerusalem for the Festival of the Passover. 42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to the festival, according to the custom. 43 After the festival was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. 44 Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends. 45 When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him. 46 After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you." 49 "Why were you searching for me?" he asked. "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?"[6] 50 But they did not understand what he was saying to them. 51 Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
Thank you. I always appreciate your readings and thoughts in the comments. I do not read the Bible enough and these reading are great reminders. A Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I have a book called "Jesus and his Church" Edgar Cayce , that goes into quite a bit of detail about the circumstances of Christ's birth. My copy is so worn and held together with tape, chewed on by something little, I treasure it so. Perhaps you would be interested in finding it, I don't know if it is even available. There is so much more to the story to make it even more real. Thanks for your words!
Thank you! May God bless you abundantly on this day in honor of our Christ's birth, as well as all your days to come! As we say, See you on the other side! 🌟🕊
That picture of you rubbing your brow at the ACIP meeting totally made me smile! I can only imagine the effort it takes to put up with the shenanigans. Thanks to both of you for your tremendous commitment to our nation!
Merry Christmas to the Malone’s! My wife and I enjoy reading your journeys and will be setting up our own homestead within 3 years as my wife will be retiring (at 57). I grew up on a farm so getting back to that has been something I’ve been itching to do for a long time now. My wife has been as RN for 30 years now and Covid was an eye opener and life changing event. We are very careful with the food we eat and where it is sourced from now and knowing growing and raising your own will ensure its organic nature. It is her year to work the holiday so she’s at the hospital and this year the holiday gets muted because of it but we will see family on Saturday and do the whole gift giving and all that then. We are gearing up and excited for the next chapter and hoping we can pull it off. Merry Christmas to everyone.
I remember hearing you very early and being so impressed with what you were saying about the vaccine. So glad I stayed with you and then Jill. Forever grateful for all that you both do and share.
Merry Christmas Malones! May god’s blessings and protection continue to surround you with love. The photos and stories are always so enjoyable and I feel like you and the other readers are family. Peace on earth ❤️
Best…Christmas…letter…ever! Thanks so much to you both for hours of delightful reading, photos, and videos that you share for all to enjoy. And special thanks to this community, whose comments we often read even before the articles.
All the best to you both and to all the plants, animals, hard work, and rich contributions that fill your lives — and ours.
Have a wonderful holiday season one and all. In the immortal words of Santa Claus and his missus: Ho. ho. ho, Merrrrrrry Christmas!
P.S. We were wondering whether Robert had a searing headache during the ACIP meetings. Chairing those sessions was obviously a challenge, but one you met with skill, patience, and fairness throughout.
Merry Christmas both Robert and Jill. We are blessed to receive your news and adore your new little Kitty, the terrorist Pom. She is gorgeous. Have a healthy and joyous 2026. The Maguire’s.
Merry Christmas to you, Drs Malone and all your beautiful animals! And to all you comment posters.
Here's a short piece of Christmas music which has become traditional in my house:

May you have a wonderful New Year.
"May the best ye hae ivver seen be the warst ye'll ivver see.
May the moose ne'er lea' yer girnal wi a tear-drap in its ee.
May ye aye keep hail an hertie till ye'r auld eneuch tae dee.
May ye aye juist be sae happie as A wuss ye aye tae be."
The above, in translation, reads:
"May the best you have ever seen be the worst you will ever see.
May the mouse never leave your grain store with a tear drop in its eye.
May you always stay hale and hearty until you are old enough to die.
May you still be as happy as I always wish you to be."

Well, 🤷♀️ if that "permanent pardon" was granted by autopen… 🤷🏼♂️
Merry Christmas, y’all
I sure hope that it wasn't an autopen pardon‼️⁉️‼️🙏
Merry Christmas to all and a very healthy 2026.
