I don&#8217;t have my address book in my laptop, so I can not send my blessing via emails to my friend this Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>I am very religious this Chrismas.  I am going to attend 3 masses in 3 consective days.  Yesterday, I went to the usual saturday evening mass.  Tonight I went to the mid-night mass with my cousin.  Tomorrow, I will go to the Christmas day mass as Pat will be directing the choir.  In tonight&#8217;s homily, the priest cited a unofficial survey in the church that many Catholics think mid-night mass is the most attractive aspect of being a Catholic and I am one of them.  I have no interest going to church every week, but mid-night mass is an annual ritual that I love.  It is not about celebrating the birth of Jesus, it is all about the atomsphere that reminds me lots of good old memories.  I enjoy going to the Mid-night mass which always gives me a hearty feeling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I would like to wish all my friend a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
