For my family here at Ripley Co GenWeb I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas, remind you all that you are loved, and to thank all the volunteers that helped me out with projects this year. I think it's time to take a break from pure genealogy. If you like, send in a story from your childhood. Something that sticks out in your memory to share would be nice, anything Christmas related, a favorite family receipe, something nostalgic. Jackie Wood County Coordinator Ripley Co MO GenWeb -- *"At the birth of the Sun, and his brother the Moon, their Mother died. So the Sun gave to the earth her body from which was to spring all life, And he drew forth from her breast the stars and he threw them into the night sky to remind him of her soul."* *tsisa udenv gohi iga!* *(MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!)* *Owner/Breeder **Tanimara Great Pyrenees* <http://www.geocities.com/tanimara_2000/> *CC: **Ripley Co MO GenWeb* <http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Emoripley/> *CC: **Harringtongen* <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/harringtongen/>* - a genealogy site for Harringtons and collateral lines.*
