I don’t hold hands either, I fold mine in a prayer gesture together and bow my head. I don’t like extending my hands upwards at different times during Mass, especially when the priest asks us to extend our hands towards people he is blessing. It just looks like a Nazi rally to me.

especially when the priest asks us to extend our hands towards people he is blessing. I had never heard of such a crazy thing. Sounds like a pagan custom. Or Jim Jones rally. Also the subject of this post -- hand holding and exposing armpits -- I'm going to guess this is one of the stinky fruits of Vatican II. Goes without saying we don't do these things at the Latin Mass.

Oh, yes, I know exactly what you mean about that extended hand gesture. I won’t do it.
Another thing I won’t do is applaud for musicians, choir, First Communicants, etc.
