(We're Latin Rite Catholics). <br /><br />And yes, the discarded trees on 26 December are a saddening sight.Stitchworthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05387323354607079249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-7334839921213061332010-12-18T08:07:57.402-06:002010-12-18T08:07:57.402-06:00I have been enjoying your blog so much lately- I a...I have been enjoying your blog so much lately- I am glad you-- 1. exist :) and 2. are real and not "perfectly holy", it is nice to know it is okay to be normal and human even if your husband is a priest.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07189228866239286310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-15546741101962855332010-12-17T19:33:29.295-06:002010-12-17T19:33:29.295-06:00Thanks for the sane insight into an insane world. ...Thanks for the sane insight into an insane world.

And, Christmas Eve we will have packed to the rafters Masses and Sunday will be lighter than usual (I work in Church) because folks will have already come once that week. <br />In general, whenever people say they expect perfection, I reminid them who was and what happened to the last perfect person.Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07393591556915882130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-60497777582118644872010-12-17T09:27:15.247-06:002010-12-17T09:27:15.247-06:00It really is sad how hard people are trying to con...It really is sad how hard people are trying to convert the wonderful celebration of Our Lord's Incarnation into Atheist Gift Exchange Day.Athanasis Contra Mundumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02809651586349621296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-77974256169148965702010-12-17T09:12:33.718-06:002010-12-17T09:12:33.718-06:00Haha it's okay, I'm anti-Santa.

I like the 'traditional' version of Santa and his team. <br /><br />We don't fast, but I try to make Advent different from Christmas.<br /><br />I think Mrs. Claus came about because we all know a good man needs a good woman behind him.
