Christmas Eve

Well, Christmas is nearly upon us. It has crept up on me this year. In Holland they are already celebrating Christmas. We used to go to midnight mass and then have breakfast shortly after midnight..... What excitement that was for us kids. My mom would send us to bed for a while and then wake us just before we went to church. Nauseated with sleep we would walk for 2 km to the church and then walk home after. Funny how those things stand out in my memory. No presents but a wonderful time. I hope you all have a wonderful time too. Is all calm yet?
