About This Quote
On Christmas Eve, my grandmother would take us to the church for Mass. When I was a kid, I didn't realize that she didn't go to church because she wanted to. She went because she had to. If you're not in church on Christmas, you don't get anything. It's not like this thing where you can invite people over and it's okay if they don't come because you haven't invited them! She had to go.
