Thoughts on my Next Christmas Card. There is a classic German-language Christmas hymn that likens the glory of Christ to the light of "more than a thousand suns." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgenstern_der_finstern_Nacht It seems such an oddly science-fictional image to use in such a devout context. I picture a character in an Asimov novel using the line as an interjection. "By the light of a thousand suns! is her skin green???" The hymn was composed in 1657. I love the era. I know this is only April, but it is never too early. There is no such sin as gluttony when it comes to 'food for thought.' (And yes, I know about Linkin Park. Don't care.)
