Advent Calendar Dec 20th - Religious Services

As a child, we never attended church at Christmas, Easter or any other time of the year. A few years after we married, my husband and I started attending a local Episcopal church which is the denomination he was raised in. Before children we attended the 11 p.m. service, but now we always attend the early service on Christmas Eve. Our oldest daughter was able to participate in the pageant last year and will reprise her role as one of the angels this year. Both our girls love music and we love to sing (off-key, of course) the Christmas carols. One of my favorites of the evening is Silent Night as I wrote about for footnoteMaven's blog caroling.
