After a roller coaster ride through the year 2020, we arrive at the last week. The eve of Christmas…last bits of cleaning, straightening that star which insists on tilting…
The air is filled with the sweet melody of carols, the aroma of freshly baked cakes, sweets simmering in pots, the rustle of wrapping paper, hushed whispers as Santa’s itinerary gets finalized.
Christmas eve is all about attending the midnight mass followed by gathering around the Christmas tree eagerly opening the gifts that Santa has left behind. This year will certainly be different with the health guidelines issued by the authorities. Online masses, celebrating within the family at home and virtual greetings to friends and extended family will be the new normal this year.
While we will certainly miss the festivities, bonhomie and the late night revelry, we must be grateful and thank God for seeing us through a tough year and pray for our less fortunate brethren.
