i go on vacation tomorrow and will be in florida through the 26th. i will leave you with a Christmas Eve prayer, to be read at dusk, or before midnight on the 24th.
This night is the long night
when those who listen await His cry.
This night is the eve of the great nativity
when those who are longing await His appearing.
Wait, with watchful heart.
Listen carefully, through the stillness;
listen, hear the telling of the waves upon the shore.
Listen, hear the song of the angels glorious-
e're long it will be heard
that His foot has reached the earth:
news-that the glory is come!
Truly his salvation is near
for those who fear Him
and His glory shall dwell in our land.
Watch and pray, the Lord shall come.
Those who are longing await his appearing.
Those who listen await His cry.
Watch...
Wait...
Listen...
This night is the long night.
--from Celtic Daily Prayer
