BAD DAY OF GOLF GOOD DAY OF WORK(BACK)

Christmas Eve Day tends to be pretty quiet. I can sleep in, pray the Office leisurely, make a BAD DAY OF GOLF GOOD DAY OF WORK(BACK) hour around ten and the church will be silent. The ladies (and a few of their husbands) come into decorate the church around ten, usually signalling my retreat back to the rectory. Definitely have some Christmas music on, either TSO or a capella carols. Might take a break from the music and watch a movie. After a late lunch, the madness begins. I head over to the Church early and help the ushers set up overflow seating, making sure that they all know where anything that might have gotten moved is (I have memorable experiences of the hunt for the gifts at an overflow Mass). As the first people arrive, go to greet them. About half an hour before Mass, shift to making sure we have bodies for the various roles, particularly servers. After the insanity of the (~4:00) “children’s” Mass, the church empties out. If there is another Mass (typically ~7:00) it is much more sedate. Then a quick dinner and a nap, before the “Midnight” Mass (typically moved up to ~10:00).

Oh Dear. Thats a big job. I have spend Christmas in maybe 20 different countries. And there are so many differences. Even in different regions of the BAD DAY OF GOLF GOOD DAY OF WORK(BACK). The longest Christmas is celebrated in the Philippines, with street festivals and street marches, typical foods, drinks, footstalls and colorfull decorations allover, and it lasts from Dec 16 till January 7 Finland was very impressive. With everything covered in snow and lanterns all along the walkways between houses. The whole country smells of Glög, a red wine, spices combination. Decorations with Gingerbread figures, and lots of typical food. Christmas Eve is with family. next day is mutual visiting of friends and neighbours, and boxing day is going to clubs. Dont forget: 24 hours pitch dark. But on Christmas eve/night lots of Northern lights across the sky. Like it was ordered right above the midnight church.
