Dear Reader,
The folks at Bonner Private Research are off this week spending the holidays with family and friends. We’ve placed some presents under the tree for you in advance, though. You should receive one each day this week.
In the meantime, we have something special for you today. Bill’s daughter Mariah recently performed a version of O Holy Night. We thought it was something you and your family might enjoy tonight.
You can listen to Mariah’s rendition by clicking here.
Did you know the song was originally written as a French-language poem in 1843? The composer Adolphe Adam set it to music in 1847. In 1855, it was adapted into English by Unitarian Minister John Sullivan Dwight.
Here’s wishing you and your family a warm and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
See you in 2024!
Mariah and her husband moved to Argentina last year to help run Bill’s ranch in the Calchaqui Valley. You can read about their trials, tribulations, and daily life on the ranch at her publication Mariah’s Journals from the Calchaqui Valley.
Very well done and beautiful Mariah, Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family. We look forward to more of your tails of life on the ranch and nearby beautiful countryside of Argentina. Your parents must be very appreciative of what you and your husband are doing not only for their ranch interests but also to hopefully improve the life style and lives in general of the farm hands and nearby community.
A beautiful tribute to our loving savior. Thank you and a blessed Christmas to you.
