Our Liturgy is at midnight (we started with Compline and Matins at 10pm, and I think the Liturgy actually started a little before midnight). Since we'd been fasting, we usually have a feast after Liturgy, though this year it was just cookies and eggnog (yum!).<BR/><BR/>And, so, my Christmas day was playing with toys, hanging out with families, etc.<BR/><BR/>Honestly, I wouldn't say my Christmas day lacked any 'Christian depth.' I mean, sure, we didn't spend the day praying, or going to church, or doing any 'Christian' stuff, but, well, we spent time with family, we gave gifts to each other, and we even did normal, everyday things. And, ya know, Christianity encompasses all of that, too.CoffeeZombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677995572485086005noreply@blogger.com
