well I doubt anyone in my parish’s midnight mass slept. every
song was refreshing and rich (but far far from charistmatic!) of
sorts, and at the end of the mass, the overwhelming majority of the
congregation remained behind until the combined choir had finished
our last (very long) song, and they all clapped for us. wow. haha.
that was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I would say a fine
finale to all those months of practice. haha.
