Welcome, Christmas

Tonight I'm attending Midnight Mass, which kicks off what is possibly the biggest birthday celebration in the world.
I haven't attended church on Christmas Eve since early adulthood, when I was home on break from college. There will be a musical exhibition before tonights' service. The pop culture equivalent for me is "Welcome Christmas", a song from the original animated version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The townspeople from "Who-ville" usher in the holiday with joined hands and song. May your heart be lifted and filled with joy on this special day.  Merry Christmas!
