Thank you for so eloquently writing about your midnight mass experience. I, too, grew up going with my family to midnight mass and it is one of my most treasured memories. Your words perfectly evoked those feelings, and I always loved the opening of one present when I returned home, a nibble on a Christmas treat and then off to bed to await Santa in the morning! Wishing you a Happy New Year! Susan

What a gift your talent is in this place of humanity, its history, timelines, drama, and even in its peace and appreciation.

I loved your Christmas message. It brought me right back to times when I experienced Christmas at midnight at church service, such a special experience. The silence in the streets, sometimes with snow is magical. One year my husband and I were visiting my brother who lived in Manhattan. At 11pm the two of us walked to Rockefeller Center to see the tree. As we neared, we heard the clopping of the horses hooves as they carried folks in open carriages wishing to take part in the same magical feeling of celebrating the most special time of the year. Such joy and peace and indeed love, surrounded us and stayed with us for days afterwards.
I have spent MANY hours reading each and every one of your spectacular Outlander books and am always sad when they come to an end. You are an amazing writer, I am so glad you came into my life!
Happy, happy New Year, you are a gift to the world.
Gale
