Christmas Eve

we decided to go to the 3pm Christmas Eve Mass at St. John the Beloved...we arrived at 2:30 and it was already packed...we couldn't even get into the main church and ended up in the auxiliary seating off of the vestibule with the tv airing the mass...
it was incredibly warm (high 70's) but both kids were in sweaters! I guess you can't take the north out of us that easily!  the mass was beautiful though....
