candlelight

I'm ready for Christmas!


My favorite Christmas tradition is going to the candlelight service at church. There's no way to describe those services. Just little magical, emotional moments that I look forward to every year. No matter where I every am in the world on Christmas Eve I will find a candlelight service.

Such a beautiful picture! I absolutely love attending Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve (or technically on Christmas- I have hard time thinking the day over until I've gone to sleep!)

With the lights dim, the darkness outside, and lots of candles within, it is so extremely peaceful to be there. It's a tradition that only started since my brothers and I got older (before that it was Christmas Eve afternoon mass- like 4:30 or something- or late Christmas morning.) While a Christmas service is Christmas service, hands down the BEST is Midnight! Sorry- looong comment!
