Merry Christmas
This morning I was told that it's been 10 years since Christmas was on
a Sunday. I personally don't remember that. The celebration
of Christmas is different when the date falls on a Sunday. Our
Christmas Eve service was well attended but our morning worship was
not. None of the families with small children came. I think
I wasn't surprised.

It was a task to get everything done before 9:45 since they changed our one service to that time but it was worth it. And ours was very well attended with many many family members who were visiting. I wish we could do it every year. But then, my children are grown and not as anxious to open gifts. I still feel that there would be time to do that if one tried.

Kids would be OK with it if they were taught about the importance of worship and putting God first. Gifts could be exchanged the day before, the day after, or even later in the afternoon of The Day. Thanks for commenting, Renee!

Our Christmas Eve service was standing room only (people were sitting on folding chairs in the foyer.) The morning service at 10am was also very crowded. They were good services.
