.The church service itself passes by without incident. The priest- ayounger guy than I was expecting, looking like he's barely thirty yearsold- spends...a lot of the time talking about Jesus's birth and about the'message' he brought to the world, and the congregation spends a lot oftime singing Christmas hymns, before we're finally allowed to leave atjust after 11am.

And it continued into the autumn. As the leaves.
