Christmas survived.

I don't have much to survive to be honest. As my Christmas only ever involves a total of 3 people.

That was really well written and a joy to read, although I'm left not really knowing whether you enjoyed it overall or wished you hadnt gone to the Mass? It was interesting though, to read. Especially your little friend! I'm glad she wasnt the screaming tantrum type, they give all small people a bad name when many are truely delightful. :-)

Thanks so much :) I'm glad you enjoyed reading it. I suppose I felt a bit ambivalent about the whole experience, though it was one of the more positive I've had in a church!

I think you are really lucky that you get such a good congregation. Here they are dwindling so mych and catholic priests are not beoing replaced soi it means you have to drive to find a church service as some are only once every few weeks....very sad

I think they get around 300 or so for a normal Sunday. Christmas is a bit exceptional!

I probably would have stayed home.... but I do miss church.
The darling little girl sounds so wonderful. I love spending time with small children.

Oh I love that icon~!

She really was a delight and made the whole experience a lot more bearable.

Oh the joys of being crushed into a church. Thank goodness for the light of the little girl -I want to cuddle her, she sounds so adorable.
And Rat - oh yeah.

And Rat - oh yeah.

Oh yeah indeed!
