That wasn’t the mass..that was the rehersal for midnight mass...rest easy...pay attention to the scene...the grandfather is there only because the father isn’t there and will be there for the later mass. ;)
All is well!
That’s what I remembered. Rehersal. It’s a hot August, but that performance is giving me chills.
Well, that's even worse. Only in the screenwriter's world would a Scrooge-like choir director subject his/her young singers to a late evening Christmas Eve rehearsal, hours before the actual Midnight Mass. Seriously, if you don't know your vocal parts by 8pm Christmas Eve - it's not like cramming for a final exam.... LOL.
