Christmas Eve, I went to Church as was tradition in my family. There weren't too many people, which wasn't surprising but what was surprising, was the fact of the myriad of new people in Church. Granted, I don't go to my family parish anymore since I'm about 200 miles and 4 hours away by bus, but usually a lot of the old Italian families and Filipino clans attend Christmas Vigil. But there were a lot of younger people of not-so-conservative backgrounds. Behind me there sat hippies, in front of me sat a family of dreadlocks, and next to me was a group a hipsters. If that isn't a testament that religion is for everyone, I don't know what is.
