By Jason Apuzzo. Those of us here at Libertas want to wish everyone in advance a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and the very best for 2011.
I’ve embedded a clip above from a film that really captures the Christmas spirit, John Ford’s 3 Godfathers starring John Wayne. In this touching and poetic film, three outlaws on the run from the law risk their lives and their freedom to preserve the life of a new-born, orphaned baby boy.
In the clip above, Harry Carey, Jr. as The Abilene Kid sings a lullaby out in the desert to the baby. The song is “Streets of Laredo,” as only Harry Carey could sing it.
Merry Christmas.

Self Styled Siren had a nice comment on this scene at her blog.
Indeed she did.
Merry Christmas back at cha guys. Hoping St. Nick leaves you success, peace of mind and a dollop of optimism in your stocking this year.
Many thanks, and to you, as well.
Merry Christmas Libertas!
And you, as well!
Merry Christmas Govindini and Jason. You’ve done great work this year — and I’m sure 2011 will bring even more knowledge, wisdom, and success.
Many, many thanks, Vince – and thanks so much for your participation here this year. It’s wonderful having you and everyone along.
