[TotusTuus]

Even Christmas Eve, which used to be packed everywhere, now doesn't even bring out all the "twice-a-year Christians."

Also, in the last couple of years I've been noticing that "Midnight Mass" is scheduled for 10 or 11 (not midnight or (shudder) at 5 pm in many of the parishes.

To add insult to injury, it ruins the old joke about people (the bi-annual types) calling in to find out "what time will Midnight Mass be held?".

[Salvation]

We are packed out for Midnight Mass.

Also have a 5:30 Vigil Family Mass.

Then during Christmas Day, 8:15, 10:30 and at 12:30 -- Misa en Espanol.

I expect that only the 8:15 AM will be a little sparse. All the others I think we will have to pull out chairs and chairs and chairs. (Too bad, we don't have the expensive kind with kneelers!)
