It is most probably true that we make a lot of Christmas Day because deep down it means a lot to families. Oh I know some people avoid it: like the guy I heard trying to book up a game of golf on it. And some people don't enjoy it: like the family that love getting together then fight all day. 

You can celebrate it in all sorts of ways. The English (they’re mad) think a lot of us celebrate it on beaches. Better than in the dark of an English winter. Anyway I don’t like sandwiches that much. 

Our best way of celebrating it at St.Marks in some way comes before the event when we have our magnificent Carols and focus on one aspect of Christmas. 

This year we do that Sunday December 20th at 7.30pm and focus on “A breathtaking moment” Now the miracle of birth is a breathtaking moment, but why was this birth two thousand years ago which we recall a breathtaking moment in more than one sense? 

If you are one day old or even one hundred years old you are welcome to our Carols Celebration. There are no bookings however come a little early to pick a spot you like. Bring your friends. The supper is on us.
