Some of Fritz Eichenberg’s Christmas/New Year’s cards. His view of the world—always in the balance between hope and despair—seems to reflect our times.

The master was haunted by the very ugly word Democracy. Closing his eyes he tried to envision a world without masters and peasants. But when he looked up there was his loyal manservant Mikhail with a refreshing glass of pond water. All was well. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

First it was the Salem “witches”; now Jesus. Who will be next on the GOP list of those who had it better: Socrates! Galileo! Joan of Arc! Sacco and Vanzetti! Mary Queen of Scots! Joe Hill!
“...When Jesus was falsely accused of Treason, Pontius Pilate gave Jesus the opportunity to face his accusers. During that sham trial, Pontius Pilate afforded more rights to Jesus, than Democrats have afforded this president in this process.” #ShamImpeachment

The master called his staff to witness something “historic.” He would set down his thoughts in a permanent and indelible record so people in 100 years could see how wrong it had been for “Home and Dacha” to deprive him of his title as Master of the Year. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

The master’s spiritual advisor wore a number of important hats. He alone knew how to calm the master after one of his outbursts. But he was also a skilled sommelier and possessed an uncanny eye for a winning horse. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

Sister Wendy Beckett died last December 26. I’ve been reading through our correspondence—almost daily letters in the last years—which I plan to edit. But I came across this Christmas card which she left unsigned, affording the “bonus” that I could give it to someone else.

FD of St Lazarus, whom Jesus loved and raised from the dead. He serves silently as a powerful witness to Christ’s power over death and as the first to respond to Christ’s call—addressed to all believers—to leave behind the ways of deadness, to embrace the Risen Life.

Trump claims that he has “saved” Christmas. But the whole Christmas narrative is a repudiation of his values and ideals—and a promise that they will not have the last word. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

For want of a screw a desk was lost. For want of a desk a publisher was disabled. For want of a publisher....Too horrible to contemplate! 😱

According to the master, King Herod was the true hero of Christmas. "All he wanted was to worship baby Jesus” but he was badly deceived by 3 very dishonest “wise” guys. And so the story took a tragic turn. “It didn’t need to be like that. Sad.” #TolstoysTalesofTrump
