Sheila said: “I'm practical enough to wonder why the good gay King didn't give poor Podivan shoes before they went out into the snow.”<br /><br />I don’t think the legend says the page was barefoot, just that his feet were cold. I’m the type whose feet get cold easily, no matter what kind of boots I’m wearing. The only thing that worked for me was warming my shoes on a heater before going out. (And then moving to Los <br />Angeles, where it never snows. When I lived in cold climates, I would have loved to have warm footprints to follow in winter!Kittredge Cherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617858676733169316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29680163.post-59476134522276575932009-12-26T12:34:39.532-08:002009-12-26T12:34:39.532-08:00Thanks, Turtle Woman, for an especially well writt...Thanks, Turtle Woman, for an especially well written comment. I also remember how some Christmas carols seemed weird to me as a child. I recall wondering what "Silent Night" meant by "round yon virgin." Nobody would explain to me what a virgin was! I decided it must mean "mountain."<br /><br />I hope you're having a great holiday season.Kittredge Cherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617858676733169316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29680163.post-57800940332583932632009-12-24T17:53:37.086-08:002009-12-24T17:53:37.086-08:00Wow, it's Christmas eve and this is perfect. ...Wow, it's Christmas eve and this is perfect. That Wenceslaus song was so weird when I was a kid. My Mom always said that was her favorite song, but it made no sense to me at all as a kid.<br /><br />Now, viva la differance!!<br /><br />I loved this post, and the songs at the end were perfect too. Loved the "Footprints in the Sand" comparison. Ah lesbian and gay Christmas, schlocky fun over Footprints, may all your footprints be heated and bright :-)<br /><br />Great year, loved this blog.Turtle Womannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29680163.post-23398219912021713342009-12-24T14:09:18.973-08:002009-12-24T14:09:18.973-08:00One of the saint commentaries explained that the h...One of the saint commentaries explained that the heated footprints is supposed to remind us to follow in the footsteps of Christ. It also reminds me of the famous "<a href="http://www.footprints-inthe-sand.com/index.php?page=Poem/Poem.php" rel="nofollow">Footprints in the Sand</a>" poem.<br /><br />Trudie, I'm happy to see that even on Christmas Eve you're not too busy to comment at the Jesus in Love Blog!

That heated footprints trick might be spectacular, but a bit impractical? I love the icon, especially since the artist is from New Mexico.
