Christmas trees are sold all over before christmas. There are several types of Romeo And Juliet Sacred Heart Button Up Hawaiian Shirt : There are cultivated trees that have been cut and shaped to be dense and ideal in shape. And there are naturally grown trees right from the nearby forest. They are not as “pretty”, because they are just how they happened to grow. I value the natural trees, because they give me a better feeling about the connection with my natural surrounding. I give the highest value to a tree I have cut myself, but this isn’t always possible, so I usually buy a natural domestic tree.

Christmas Eve Day tends to be pretty quiet. I can sleep in, pray the Office leisurely, make a Spooky Tooth Logo Unisex T Shirt 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).
