Well, blame it on the snow storm and blizzard we've been experiencing this holiday season...but we didn't go to any Christmas Church services this year. James and I had really wanted to attend a Christmas Eve service at
St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Manhattan, with the Boy's Choir and the full liturgy in all its glory....but we obviously weren't on the East Coast for Christmas.
So we decided to settle for midnight sledding. Or I guess it was more like 1:00am by the time we got there. But the sledding was amazing - we went to the
old middle school hill with all of our siblings, the hill that everyone flocks to when it snows around here. But surprise surprise, we had the whole hill to ourselves at 1:00am on Christmas Eve. And we had a wonderful reprieve from the normally incessant wind that Lynden experiences during a snowstorm. So conditions were perfect and I suppose the quiet crunch of the snow and the dim lighting that faintly glowed on the snow had its own sacred appeal...if the weather cooperated I would make it an annual tradition!
