Going to church in a bit.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas.

Christanon 12/24/17 (Sun) 18:12:15 f70b48 No.577961

Merry Christmass friends.

I'll be spending next 2 days with my family and friends. We finished christmas eve meal, gave each other presents and will be going to church soon.

Christanon 12/24/17 (Sun) 19:27:32 5bd0c1 No.577984

Just opened a beer, I am waiting for midnight and a bit bored. Listening to traditional Christmas music on Classic fm (a British radio station).

>that feel when expat

>going to go to church on the 25th

>no family or friends to spend Christmas Day with

I never realised how lonely I am until this Christmas. Who else is looking forward to the sweet embrace of death so you can be with Christ forever?

You will find someone. That's not empty hope, that is a fact.

Christanon 12/24/17 (Sun) 20:16:50 8ea2f4 No.578006

Sucks that I have to work today. On the bright side I'll be able to spend some time with my family before going to my first midnight mass. I'm the only Catholic in my family.

Don't worry, I'll be at midnight mass too. God bless.

I love you, friend.

Matt 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Christanon 12/24/17 (Sun) 20:25:18 ea77ff No.578010

My wife had to go to work today. She's a hotel manager and there are a LOT of tourists in town. But she'll be home in a couple of hours and off for the next 3 days. Her family is up in Ohio and mine are mostly in Texas, so it will just be us and the kids this year.

We got a ham and some sides to cook up and it will be a nice, quiet Christmas. We'll open presents, go walk around town to see the decorations, and have a generally enjoyable time of it. I do love all the family, but I'm glad it's just us this year.

Neither do I have family but at least one friend, but the bond isn't strong enough to cope with my otherwise lonely outlook. I want to go to church on the 25th but don't have the balls to go alone, being a total stranger and having never entered a church besides the SDA cult houses, which is also as good as eight years ago.

It's already Christmas in my country, got family over from another city, so that's good. There was a Christian Christmas show on this morning, so it's nice to see that the media isn't so pozzed as to not show those

Merry Christmas eve for you americans

>my grandpa, who is my role model and best friend, is spending this Christmas in a hospital where is constantly growing weaker

i've never met a more Christian man than him

my dad says he has never heard him swear ever, he does daily rosary prayers, i've never seen him miss mass and our part of the family is the most religious due to his upbringing

i just want to spend more time with him

also i will pray for your aunt right now

Merry Christmas to you all. I hope the time you spend with friends and/or family is beyond enjoyable and I pray we all remember how gracious we should be to our Lord, who was clothes in corruptible flesh for the sake of granting us salvation and remission of sins

I fell asleep around midnight, I'm too lazy to go to church and I don't like the huge crowds. I'll try to go to confession soon, but who knows.

Merry Christmas fellas.

Midnight mass was fantastic, following the old Latin rite.

They sung Gaudete, Gaudete, and it was beautiful to hear.

How about making an ecumenical council to make a Christmas feast from December 25th to January 7st?

You do realize that only Russia Georgia and Serbia celebrate it in January, right?

>>578370

As long as Russia keeps being autistic about it just in spite of Constantinople, it won't be possible. And calendar isn't an ecumenical affair either. But it's annoying how nearly entire world celebrates Christmas together, while we have to wait to 7th January and then hypocritically sing "on 25th December, Jesus was born in Bethlehem"

Went to church last night, before mass there is half an hour of carol singing, it had started when I got there. During the singing, the parish priest was walking around and singing the loudest, he touched me on my shoulder during the carol singing and acknowledged me. I felt like my presence was appreciated.
