We were at the choir loft on Christmas Eve. No, we weren't part of the choir but we were allowed to stay in the "CHOIR MEMBERS ONLY" seats to be near MacGyver's mom who was playing the organ.
MacGyver's mom is still very active in the Music Ministry. Aside from playing the organ during the mass, she really takes the time to train the choir(s). She has been doing this since MacGyver and his siblings were children. (Naturally, they were part of the choir). Now that all of them have grown up and most of the children are married, it is not very often that MIL has family members up in the choir loft with her.
MacGyver felt it would make her happy to see us there, so we opted to join MIL for the Christmas eve mass. There I was, standing between GI and RD with MyGirl in front of me. I could hear MacGyver sing all these unfamiliar songs in Latin during the High Mass. He actually knew the songs the choir members were singing (even if the rest of the congregation was quiet). It made me think... it seems there are still a lot of things I don't know about MacGyver.
Well, MyGirl learned a couple of things there as well. She found out that chimes, maracas, triangles, tambourines and boom boxes could become part of the mass.
Here she is with her instrument of choice. Of all of the instruments she saw that evening, her favorite one was the chimes. (I love chimes, too, but that is another story.)
