Christmas Eve

Well here it is - finally. The candles on the Advent wreath are burning (or if they're felt like mine they are standing) and Christians around the world await Christmas, our religious holiday while contemplating issues of faith.  Hopefully, those around the world will safely enjoy the celebration of this most joyous occasion - not a fact to be taken for granted in some places. Let us pray for those whose celebration of faith puts their lives at risk and remember to be grateful for the freedoms we enjoy.

Over at More Meredith Gould,  Meredith, author of The Catholic Home,  writes about the rituals and traditions of our Catholic faith - the joy of singing in a choir and other ways to celebrate this time of year.  The Advent candles are burning over there - at least in a cyber-kind of way, so go on over and visit.  'Tis (always) the season over there!
