Here are my liturgy leaflets/word books for the two Christmas Masses my choir sings at.

If you find any mistakes, don't tell me - ignorance is bliss - and I've already printed 250 of each of these!

I am NOT directing a choir. I am not even IN a choir.
I have NO IDEA what I will hear or sing for Christmas.

Lost in the mail.

For my Christmas, I was planning to finish a Mass setting in English time for the holiday. Thankfully, the translation I'm using (1929 BCP) is fairly compromising, so I can get it done.

This is what I sang with a friend's choir for an EF midnight Mass at St. Norbert's in Roxbury, WI, one of the diocesan parishes that very regularly celebrates the EF.
