Off and on for the last 30+ years my now adult kids and I attend midnite mass at our church. While mass does start at midnite, the hilite of the evening is christmas carols by the choir that start at 11:15. Same choir director and most of the same choir members over the years.
This year there was a new soloist in the choir, probably she was of high school age, who was remarkable. All our family could talk about afterward was this new soloist.
I hope we can keep her.
I impressed my kids by singing several of the old favorites in Spanish, words I learned more than 50 years ago. Now, if I can just remember all the words to "Gloria", aka Angels we have heard on high.
