Welcome to the Canteen, longfellow....so glad you were able to talk to your Marine.
We thank him for his service to our country.

We're singing at Midnight Mass, and those of who are particularly zealous will sing at the 10:45 a.m. Mass as well. Mrs. MacNessa and I will not be participating in the latter.
