I have to admit, I expected to see a bit more of my family while I was home for the holidays. I realize this is only the third day I'm here, but I'm home alone, with no car to get me anywhere.
It's a little weird to sit around in what is essentially someone else's house and have nothing to do. Right now, I am watching VH1's 40 Greatest Reality Moments 2, and playing online. Very festive.
I went over to Sts. Peter and Paul this morning for Meg's son's baptism (I'm not sure how many details she wants posted publicly, so Meg, if you want any of this pulled, let me know). It was a sweet ceremony, and the thing I really miss about that church is how the parishioners really band around each other. Someone needs help? They're there. Someone needs extra prayers? They're there. It's just a great thing, and I think it's something you don't see with a lot of churches anymore, especially Catholic churches. A lot of the other Catholic churches that I've been to have been very anonymous - people come in, they shake hands at the sign of peace, and then they go home, without really talking to anyone. Sure, at Christmas, they might smile a little more and wish someone Merry Christmas, but I think this church really brings the spirit. I wish I could find a church like this closer to me.
