As I get older, pulling these late night things like Vigil Mass of Christmas and Midnight Mass of Christmas followed by two hours of sleep before waking up for morning rounds is getting more and more difficult.  After I locked and alarmed the church and stumbled to the rectory around 1:45 p.m., I have been like a vegetable.  Shortly, I am going to try to sleep for the night.  I have some major sleep deficit to battle.

But, Christmas was glorious.  There is that.  And I can say it confidently.  Many thanks to all who played a part in the celebration from lectors to MCs to servers to musicians to choirs.  And thank you to the Environment and Art people who decorated so beautifully.

Merry Christmas, one and all!
