That was good

We saw Therese today, and it was quite good. I have a feeling that a non-Catholic might think it was sappy - and the first parts of it were a bit sugary - but at the end, I actually wanted to cry! Yes, me, the cold-hearted "art can't touch me!" girl. I also identified a lot with how Therese felt about becoming a nun, although she was sure and I am not, at all.

My family is going to exchange Christmas presents on Christmas Eve this year because my Mother has to work on Christmas Day. Isn't that terrible! She has to work the day afterward, too. We are going to Midnight Mass at Immaculate Conception Church, though. It's a Solemn High Mass. Mother is just going to sleep a lot during the day on Friday, and then head in early Saturday morning ... sigh. She works so hard.
