In which I hold lit candles twice in one evening

I sang five carols with the Unitarians and eight with the Episcopalians. (I hadn't attended an Episcopal service in about 15 years, but it's not like they'd glare at me if I messed up or something. About 10 years for the Unitarians, but there's nothing to mess up on.) D. was cute with his candle; we went to the Unitarian children's candlelight service at 5:30 p.m. Attending midnight mass made me miss my (alliteration) self-imposed rule of posting on every calendar day, oh well.

Merry Christmas!
