Christmas is only one day away. Why doesn't it feel like it? I was talking with my husband and I mentioned that it doesn't even feel like Christmas. We have our lights, tree and presents under the tree, but it feels like any normal winter day. He agreed. Something is off this year. I'm hoping that the Christmas feeling will sink in at mass tonight and when my husband and I host a traditional Christmas Eve dinner.
I had to work last night. It felt very odd being in the office on a Sunday night. But with that Sunday night shift, it saved me from getting up at 4 am to go to work this morning. It was nice sleeping in. I slept until 6 am. That is called sleeping in for me on a Monday. Next Sunday I will be at the office again working a night shift and be sleeping in on a Monday morning.
In the new year, I will be doing something different. Back in November, my church asked for volunteers for different ministries at mass. I signed up to be an altar server. My church allows fourth grade students through adults, so I wanted to try. Back when I was in elementary, our faith formation class teacher asked the class if anyone wanted to be an altar server. I was interested and asked about it. I was turned down. At that point in time, only boys could be altar servers. I was disappointed. Now I get a chance do something I wanted to do long ago. I'm glad that I won't be the only adult to be an altar server. A husband and wife that attend the same mass as I do have been servers since the summer.
Merry Christmas everyone!
