our 2011 Christmas card

this is the Christmas card i made and never sent out. 

i'm sad because i love it. alas, i love my new purse my loving spouse purchased for me more! the quote came from my husband's favorite Christmas hymn, Come Thou Long Expected Jesus. 

here are the lyrics:

Come, Thou long-expected Jesus,

Born to set Thy people free;

From our fears and sins release us,

Let us find our rest in Thee.

Israel's strength and consolation,

Hope of all the earth Thou art;

Dear desire of every nation,

Joy of every longing heart.

Born Thy people to deliver,

Born a child, and yet a King,

Born to reign in us for ever,

Now thy gracious kingdom bring.

By Thine own eternal Spirit,

Rule in all our hearts alone:

By Thine all-sufficient merit,

Raise us to Thy glorious throne. Amen.

the end.
