We went to late night Mass. My little son made it a little ways in before falling asleep. My daughter made it pretty far before she tanked. But just after the Consecration she woke up pretty strongly out of nowhere. After mass I said you woke up there... She said, "I'm not going to miss my favorite part of mass.... I'm not going to miss the Eucharist.". And I thought okay that's my Christmas present. No matter what else...I'll take that.

Merry Christmas, OBOB! May the glory and grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Whose mysterious and miraculous birth you celebrate today illuminate us all as we worship the incarnate Word, born of the Theotkos saint Mary for the salvation of all.

For the Incorporeal was incarnate, and the Word became flesh, the One without beginning began, the Eternal came under time.

Alleluia Alleluia, Alleluia Alleluia, Jesus Christ the Son of God, was born in Bethlehem.


(-- from the Gospel response for the Matins praise of the Nativity in the Coptic tradition)
