That hectic day before Christmas Day has arrived with its accompanying frantic wrapping of presents and icing of the Christmas cake - not to mention remembering to take the turkey out of the freezer! Sara worked hard today in the kitchen preparing as much as she could in advance of the arrival of her niece and five children tomorrow. Thom and Mary spent most of the day in their rooms or watching TV. This evening, Sara, Mary and our friend Linda M and her son Joe, joined us at Salisbury Cathedral for the First Eucharist of Christmas - often known more commonly as Midnight Mass. A truly magnificent service as only the cathedral can put on with fantastic organ music, including the Toccata and Fugue from Vidor's Symphony for Organ at the end. This is always a wonderful way to start Christmas Day and we are so lucky to have this wonderful cathedral so close to us. A great feeling of what Christmas is all about and plenty of incense to fill the nostrils with a sacred feeling for the celebration of the coming of Christ into the world. Happy Christmas
Everyone!
