I agree with you OP. Only a few weeks ago I gave up hard liquor and started to fast and pray more. I still smoke and have the odd beer but I want to be as ready as possible for this Christmas. Its just a sense I have. I will watch catalina enter bootes (the sickle) and so much more. I hope to watch the full moon rise Christmas day at 6:11 EST (11:11) universal time. It will also be interesting to watch this upcoming week with regards to what happens "in the world". I will be watching with immense interest. No partying, no shopping etc. I am working on a few scrapbooks and things for family. Peace
