Out of pure idleness, Pam and I stopped sending Christmas Cards some years ago. But I would like to thank all readers and correspondents for their kindness in reading what I write, and the additional kindness of ensuring that I get to know that there are people out there reading it! I do offer Mass for my readers.
A Blessed Advent and a fruitful Expectation of the Lord's Coming.

I'm not the brightest button in the box, and so I don't always understand some of the finer points you make. Nevertheless, I follow your blog, albeit I don't often comment.
A Very Holy and Happy Christmas to you.
Thank you for my share in the mass you offered; I need all the help I can get!
Yes, of course, you blog IS read. Of course as a German I don't read your Posts concerning the Church in England, and my English is - of course - not the best, but ... Thank you!!!
Eugenie Roth from Germany
As native German with poor English knowledge I don't understand everything you write, but be sure that I appreciate what I understand!
Thanks!

I bless the day that Pope Benedict opened the doors of the Catholic Church to the people of the Anglican Ordinariate.
Fr. Hunwicke, you are a treasured teacher among many others like you that God has showered as life-giving rain upon me.
As another teacher, Pro. Anthony Esolen once wrote: "May we all be conformed to the beauty of Jesus."
Thank you for the gifts you have given in turn.
A Merry Christmas...and a Blessed New Year...to the beautiful new Catholic Church of Olde England!
A blessed Christmas to a constant source of wisdom and erudition that fits quite nicely between Prime and Terce.
Merry Christmas, Father!
I pray that you and yours have happy and Blessed Christmastide, Father, for several treasons, not the least of which is that this Blog is a great source of information and wisdom with the added benefit of your wry, and sometimes sly(my favorite) observations.
Father John, a very happy Christmas to you and Presbytera. Thank you very much for your daily reflections. I hope they are read by many.
My warmest regards to you, Father, and to your wife in anticipation of this year's celebration of the Nativity of the Lord.
I no longer send cards for other reasons, but I include this link with the hope that it be a blessing to you and others:

I am profoundly grateful to God for your blog and your presence on the interwebs.
My best wishes to you and yours this holy season. I give thanks for the blessing of meeting you, and the other priests present this year at the Roman Forum. I so much enjoy your writing!
Mary Jones
Thank you, Fr. Hunwicke, and best regards to you and your wife for a blessed Christmas, and the same for the New Year.
