It's two in the morning, just got in from Midnight Mass. I had to play the keyboard for the Mass. It was okay. Crazy woman conducting and I didn't read her signals so I just did what I usually do. But it was okay! I played O Holy Night for our young soloist and that was a buzz. The Samoan Community sang brilliantly, really stirring stuff. I loved it even though I hadn't wanted to go to that Mass at all!

BECKY< HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS CHRISTMAS CHAOS

And MERRY CHRISTMAS friends out there. Find someone you like and tell them that you like them today. Have something nice to eat. Give some consideration to those in need. After our nativity practice this afternoon, one of the mothers gave me a whole ham to give to someone in the parish who was needy. She had one spare for some reason, a raffle or something. Amazing, huh. I knew one particular family but I thought that they had moved house. I made a phone call from my mobile to someone who knew where they were. She didn't know the street number but described the house and we set out to find it! Christy and I trekked up a steep path to dilapidated house and a family of six children. You could tell from the door that they had nothing, so I hope they like ham! It felt right, to pass on something good to someone in need at Christmas time.

So that's it for now. From tomorrow night onwards, my holiday will really start to happen.
Looking forward to it... now I will rush off to bed...
