Christmas!

We had a great Christmas at the Long house in Cary, Brittney was off work Friday and Monday, and is now returning home to Winston on Tuesday morning. Dad had off work the same days and is also taking off Tuesday and Wednesday to get some work done around the house.

I decided that this year we should try a new church for Christmas Eve. We're Catholic and so we usually attend Christmas Eve Mass. Usually is a bit of an overstatement as Mass has become so dry and boring (the Catholic religion as a whole, in my opinion, has become out of touch) that we rarely attend, and can't really even call ourselves "Christmas and Easter Catholics" anymore. I looked up non-denominational churches in Cary and we went to Triangle Community Church and had a lovely service. The Children's groups sang a few songs at the beginning, then the band took over and we sang Christmas Carols for about 20 minutes, had about 25 minutes of a sermon, and then ended with more Christmas Carols. It was fun! It's still new to me that church can be fun and something to look forward to rather than dread.

It renewed my need to find a "church home", I've heard good things about Summit as well as Hope but haven't made the commitment yet, so if you have a preference, let me know and I'll check it out!

Anyway, hopefully this week will conclude with a little more work getting done by me, and a little less sleeping than before Christmas.
