Christmas in Salem, Oregon






Well, Christmas celebrations are over and because I allowed myself to get exhausted, I ended up sick with a cold. The liturgical season of Christmas is not over but thank God the over-eating has subsided.

I felt good about celebrating all nine days of Posadas. It was wonderful to “rock the Baby” on the last Posada and then process into Church with all the folks carrying lighted candles and singing Silent Night.

The Blessed Mother had to have a new veil made because the other blue veil got lost. St. Joseph looked very nice and tall. Yuritzy Gonzalez and her friend played the part well. I did not stay until the congregation came up to kiss the Baby Jesus. I drove to Beaverton to be with my Sisters.

This year I did not have time to put up a Christmas tree. I am sad about that. I did decorate a bit around the house. I have several Nativity sets from different parts of the world.
