[Knitting A Conundrum]

We will have a Christmas eve service, midnight mass and at least two services during the day (you aren't expected to attend all of them.) No matter what your schedule is, you ought to be able to find time to attend.

And I'll probably end up washing and ironing the church linens for that week. Me and my big mouth.

Midnight Mass was a tradition in my family, when all of us were older. It was part of a tradition that we, the adult "children", adopted.

Christmas Eve was typically spent at one grandparents' house; then off the Midnight Mass, then back home to visit until the wee hours of the morning. Get up, eat breakfast, open presents, brunch at my brother's, and Christmas dinner at my other grandparents' house.

Midnight Mass holds a special place in my heart for another reason, too. My husband proposed to me after Midnight Mass in 1991.

With a 4 year old, 5 year old, and newborn, we will be attending the earlier service (and praying that we make it through!).
