Christmas Day!

Christmas Day!! I got up to attend the morning mass at St. Paul’s at 11:00, though I left Lara sleeping in bed. This service was pretty cool too, though not as ornate at the night before. The choir sang Lux Aurumque by Eric Whitaker and the sermon was by the Bishop of London. The eloquently spoken sermon was about how knowledge is power and salvation through a community of believers, but I disagreed on several points and rather stopped listening after a while. See http://www.london.anglican.org/SermonShow_15815 for a full transcript of his sermon. I met a really lovely lady name Yeni whom I sat by through this service. She is from South Korea but has studied at the University of Tennessee and is well on her way to becoming a doctor of medicine in psychology, we are now facebook friends!

 
Lara and I had lunch at Starbucks and spend the rest of the day sleeping and organizing my luggage which was spread all over my locker. We watched a Michael Buble Christmas special on BBC which was amazing!
