*To Lessons and Carols, that is. It was glorious, even without the traditional Willcocks descants on "O Come All Ye Faithful" and "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing."
But I think the best part was having my rambunctious can't-sit-still, sword-wielding, gun-toting, smite-the-bad-guys 4-year-old cuddle on my lap in the rocking chair for almost the entire 1-1/2 hour broadcast.
Makes me think he would do that more often if I would only slow down a bit.
Merry Christmas to me.
*If you missed the live broadcast, it's not too late, as various American Public Media affiliates will be replaying this year's recording of the service over the next few days. My previous post on this topic includes a link to one such station.

Oh, YES! We did listen! We noted with pleasure the older "those who know not Jesus Christ" has been restored in the opening prayer. Some years it had been watered down to "those who know not the Love of God" or something like that.
And did you hear aaaalll those people saying the Lord's Prayer? Surely the gates of hell tremble at moments like that!
