Our little Byzantine outreach parish celebrated Christmas Eve with the full Divine Liturgy, chanted in its entirety, all seats filled, and Father dressed in his finery: Goldcloth vestments and his miter, which is shaped like a crown. We don't have any snow (Alaska? On Christmas??) but the Christmas spirit is alive and well in our little church.

Sounds absolutely beautiful!
