Keeping Mass in ChristMass

This was the homily for all the Christmas Masses. I took an idea I had used before in Doniphan/Kenesaw about connecting the Nativity and the Eucharist and launched into it via two things on the Internet lately 1) a meme about keeping Christ in Christmas and 2) a tweet about Christmas services stealing pastors' kids' Christmases. Both of those are included below.

(Note: I know a meme is more than a picture, and I went into the distinction more in later Masses, but the 4:00 had the best recording, so don't @ me.)

Shoutout to churches cancelling services this Sunday. We pastor's kids often leave faith because the church stole our Christmas every year.
