    Uhm, honest, when I posted my merry Christmas post, I hadn't read this post and I can't read Latin (I sometimes try to fake it...)

    Many thanks. And a small Latin lesson as a gift. Much appreciated.

    Merry Christmas to you, Hiraghm.
    The translation is included.
    It literally means "Peace on Earth to Men of Good Will", which is a little different than the standard English translation of the phrase.

    No, its the usual bread I make for family birthdays.
    I'm just making it for Christmas as well this year.
    Sourdough white, wheat, or rye.

    Not this year.
    But she did get what she asked for, mundane stuff.
    I'm currently baking Christmas bread like a Soviet trying to reach his weekly unrealistic quota.

    I hope you and Dale both have a happy whatever it is you celebrate.
