Christmas, a Time of Rejoicing

Last night, the Interlude Choir sang during the Christmas Eve Mass. It was the highest form of celebrating Christmas as it was meant to welcome the Child Jesus. I sang the verses for Glory to God in the Highest to the tune of "O Come all Ye Faithful." I also helped Sr. Aurea play the organ. Earlier before the Mass, we had our Noche Buena at home. Daday prepared Lumpiang Shanghai, Pancit and Fried Chicken. Those got me really stuffed.

This year, this was the message I sent via text to my friends:


"Merry Christmas. This is truly the time to rejoice for unto us, the Child, Emmanuel is born, King of kings and Lord of lords.. the Messiah, Christ our Savior."

I got it sent to many at around 11 pm.

This morning, I joined in the choir for the 8 am Christmas Eucharist. After the mass, the choir dined with Bishop Joy Tonnel at the Bishop's House. Love the spag.
