I'm taking my niece and nephew to the 5:00p family service and then I will go to midnight mass. I love singing Christmas carols at midnight. My priest will not let you sing a Christmas carol in the church until Christmas day, he's way traditionalist.
Wading through the darkness of irreverance and horniness (
), here lies a shining beacon with the true Christmas spirit.
L_G, have you ever attended a service of Lessons and Carols (for the unitiated, Lessons and Carols is a series of 9 Christmas readings from the Bible, interspersed with traditional Christmas hymns. The tradition was started at King's College in England on Christmas Eve in 1918 ).
I've gone to a few at St. Thomas Church in NYC., along with various local churches. Those were some of the most beautiful services I've ever seen. Of course, nothing tops seeing it done at King's College.
