"It's Christmas!"

Ill never forget the first time I went to midnight Mass. It
was a few years ago, when our third child was still an infant. In
retrospect, it was not the best year for us to try this;
considering that we were already getting precious little sleep with
a three-month-old and two toddlers in the house, we would have been
better off going to one of the mid-morning Masses on Christmas day.
But Id never been to midnight Mass, and I really wanted to
experience it, so my husband and I made our way down to the church
an hour after we normally would have gone to sleep for the
night.
