Christmas Zombies

Today, during Liturgy of the Word with children, I asked some of the parents if they had any suggestions for our Christmas Eve Mass.  Happily, my request was met with many offers of help.

Two of our little boys over heard some of the conversation  and decided that for Christmas, the children should be zombies.  They would dress in angel outfits, paint their faces to look like they were dirty and instead of 'angel hands' (a prayer posture) they would process with arms outstretched. I will admit, the idea was growing on me.

Later, as Mass ended our priest said his final blessing, but the response was exceptionally weak.  My daughter turned to me saying, "I think the zombies are here already."
