Our family gathered in N TX , only our LA son in law was missing and he will be going to Laredo to his family before New Year. Our LA daughter will be here about a week, she usually flies in for2 or 3 night and then back to her nanny job.The boys are 16 and 12, she is beginning her 16th yr. For many yrs, she traveled holidays, etc with the family when the boys were younger.

Our Eve service was such a wonderful gift for me.Our family has gone to worship from the time we married and raised the girls, now the grands.

Carols, candles and communion as well as wonderful music is the service. In our hometown as well as others I am sure, many attendees are from other churches. As a teen, attended Midnight mass as it was the only service in town at that time.
