This year, I’d like to really celebrate the season of Christmas, especially because so many people think that Christmas ends on Christmas day, when it actually is just starting! One of the ways I am celebrating is to do the Twelve Days of Christmas for my priest, which is also his Christmas present from me this year.

On the first day of Christmas, my friend Jenn gave to me: one hour of Adoration!

I spent my hour at the Divine Mercy Chapel at St. Anastasia.

I love all the candles! Thanks, too, to Mary, for her Yes.

In addition to praying, I read some from the book my brother gave me for Christmas, “Under Angel Wings: The Story of a Young Girl and Her Guardian Angel,” which is quite good so far. On the way home, I listened to some Christmas music and ended up crying. Good crying, though! Gotta love the Holy Spirit!
