Christmas Eve

I was 14.  My brother had gone of somewhere with his friends.  Mother and I went to her friends house to eat our way through Christmas Eve.

Some time before 10:30PM I began ti gyrate and bounce as a lot of un medicated ADHD people do.  The neighborhood friend guided me into the bedroom that had the second tv.

I went channel  surfing and came accross Midnight Mass from St. Patrick's in the big apple.

Theatre!  Wow!

Tsk Tsk you say.  Nay Nay say I.  What is it that a Christian does when they go to church.  They retell the reason for thier hope as Paul says.

It's just that some people need more tinsel than others.

  2. An Episcopal priest I know mentioned one time that his seminary had one, part-time guy teaching -- can't remember the actual term, but it means "showmanship," or "Presentation," while the nearby Baptist school, a much smaller one, had four full-timers. The all put on a show. Some are more apparent.
