Clonard Monastery had a cross community carol sing service tonight. Three choirs singing fabulous choral music in a church unlike any I've seen. It was beautiful, with wood arches and tiny mosaic tiles the entire way up the walls. At the start of the service they turned out all of the lights, so there were just candles burning, and then they turned on the christmas lights up the posts and on the tree. There was a time for folks to bring gifts and place them up at the crib in the manger (toys and food for the community) and the line of people coming up was endless. It really felt like Christmas.
Yesterday was Megsfest 2007. It was pretty much fabulous. We met at the market (a bit disappointing for its billing as the "Christmas market") and then did some errands. Found the new Wickerman Store (this is exciting!), bought some "stinkin' " cough syrup, saw two of the yp I work with at their coffee shop jobs, bought a fab hat...rented three movies, got Indian take away, watched two movies (Because I Said So and The Holiday), played cards, sang karaoke, laughed A LOT.
