This three-day weekend, I will be singing all Masses from the console alone, giving a much-deserved break to our singers and brass. They will return next weekend (January 6/7) for the Epiphany.

Not much different in the line of music today, especially since the Gospel readings for the Second and Third Sundays are very much related.

Off-Topic: Dog Shows
Every time we go over to my mother-in-law's house on Thanksgiving Day, after the Macy's parade is done, NBC follows it with a dog show.
Thanksgiving Day and Christ the King at Sacred Heart
Usually I post these before the fact, and not after. Was a bit hectic this week, so the Thanksgiving Day list got posted almost seven hours late. My bad!

It Doesn't Have to Be that Way
The late great singer-songwriter Jim Croce wrote a song called It Doesn't Have to Be that Way, which was included in his album Life and Times, the album that included the hit Bad, Bad Leroy Brown. Though not a Christmas song, It Doesn't Have to Be that Way gets a lot of airplay on mainstream radio during Advent.
