Both priest and I wore Gold, MC in black cassock & white cotta, 4 altar BOYS in red cassocks and white cotta's.

Lots of incense, traditional carols and readings before Mass, and a packed Church. Nice to catch up with people I haven't seen for 12 months!!! ;)

We had seminarians. The choir was in red cassocks and white surpluses. The others were all in black and white. The deacon had a matching vestment to the bishop - white heavily embroidered with gold. AND we had incense and BELLS, BELLS, BELLS. Rung three times. It was crowded too.
