Dear distant friends,
I wish you calm and peaceful New Year 2017 again full of wonderful experiences at our boys.
I try to describe Christmas traditions in central Europe,where I live.We have four seasons and they are all beautiful.Gifts bring a little boy – JESU – after Christmas dinner on december 24.
I once saw a photo of a very small curly boy and it occured to me : this boy looks like small Jesu.Surely this photo you all know,for someone is little face of one of his ” brothers ” – all are equally charming.All three boys we brought to life t
he best of luck and we will send them for a day thank you.
I´m sending a Czech Christmas Mass ,which is played on december 24 at midnight in many churches.As a child 10 to 12 years I sang in the children´s choir and I remember it to this day.Christmas of those years belong to the most fortunate.But the regime tried to eradicate religion and followed penalty – children who attended church timidly studying.
Short film content:
Star of Bethlehem came and proclaimed to the shepherds the birth of the SAVOIR.People began to wear gifts and everyone rejoced in the birth of a child.
Music composted Jakub Jan Ryba ,composer,organist and teacher ( 1765 – 1815 ) with a sad destiny.
Pictures are from national paitner Josef Lada – his paintings faithfully depict the landscape at a time,when he lived ( 1887 – 1957).
Thank you for all the reports we receive each day during year.
Heartfelt greetings from Zdena.

Happy New Year, Zdena, I am enchanted with this touching and gorgeous little masterpiece. I’m going to see if I can transfer the ‘3 in 1’ (continuous) version on you tube. I read about J.J. Ryba and saw what happened in his life. That poor, poor man! Yes; tragic….bless his soul. Thank You very much, again, Zdena and Kelly; what a gift these are. I intend to read about Josef Lada . Such wonderful talent. 🎨🎶💜
Thank you Zdena for sending us for your Christmas traditions.Hope Chrisrmas was full of wonderfull presents for you & family time together

Zdena, I ‘m going to see if I can get a copy of this enchantingly illustrated and sung Czech Christmas Mass video to keep & enjoy ‘forever’. I read about JJ Ryba. What a tragic life. He and Josef Lada were so talented. Thank You, Zdena and Kelly for this video gift. I just love it. Peaceful and Happy new year to you both.
