Here’s a spectacular shot of a space nebula. It doesn’t take much imagination to see a Christmas wreath with a red bow. No sign of Little Saint Nick in this picture, even though NORAD was keeping an eye on the sky with its Santa Claus Tracker.

With or without Santa in the picture, the nebula wreath is just more proof that Christmas is where you find it.

“Christmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind,” said Calvin Coolidge. “To cherish peace and good will, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.”

Not sure what’s under your Christmas tree, but here are some Christmas gift suggestions from author Oren Arnold. “To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect.”

Speaking of Christmas gifts, Jerome Simpson of the Cincinnati Bengals gave football fans a gift with what will forever be known as “The Flip.”

Merry Christmas to all!
