Christmas Eve Day tends to be pretty quiet. I can sleep in, pray the Office leisurely, make a Mclaren Formula 1 Team Lando Norris Miami Grand Prix Champion T Shirt hour around ten and the church will be silent. The ladies (and a few of their husbands) come into decorate the church around ten, usually signalling my retreat back to the rectory. Definitely have some Christmas music on, either TSO or a capella carols. Might take a break from the music and watch a movie. After a late lunch, the madness begins. I head over to the Church early and help the ushers set up overflow seating, making sure that they all know where anything that might have gotten moved is (I have memorable experiences of the hunt for the gifts at an overflow Mass). As the first people arrive, go to greet them. About half an hour before Mass, shift to making sure we have bodies for the various roles, particularly servers. After the insanity of the (~4:00) “children’s” Mass, the church empties out. If there is another Mass (typically ~7:00) it is much more sedate. Then a quick dinner and a nap, before the “Midnight” Mass (typically moved up to ~10:00).

The current NHL leadership will only consent to moving one of the im a rich shirt teams as an absolute last resort. Winnipeg only got the Thrashers when the situation in Atlanta became untenable and the team needed a last-minute landing site. This is why the Centre Videotron was constructed in Quebec City: to have an NHL-ready arena if and when another team needs to relocate.The NHL insists that it is committed to keeping its current franchises where they are: this is true until it suddenly isn’t. There may come a point when a club like the Arizona Coyotes has no option but to relocate, and Quebec City could indeed wind up with a new version of the Nordiques.The league is bullish on Houston, which has a local NBA owner who is eager to become part of the NHL. So the Texas city is often considered the top candidate for a relocated franchise. But it is more likely that Houston would enter the league via an expansion franchise (Seattle paid $650M to join and the other owners will be wanting another cash injection in the future). Quebec would probably get the next team that needs to relocate.
