Yay it’s Gaudete Sunday – Crack open the beer and Doritos
I know what you’re thinking: How can it be Gaudete Sunday on a Saturday evening? Well, I have it on the highest and most impeccable authority (Digital Nun) that:
Gaudete Sunday begins with first Vespers, so no problem about your beer this evening. Catholicism has its points (pints even).
And so one quick Vespers with Wifey and son, a trip to the shops and now making a mess of my keyboard with Doritos fingers and slurping beer for the first time since advent began.
It’s the first time I’ve treated Advent with any seriousness and must admit I haven’t found it all that easy; although, I have lost half a stone in weight and have never been so productive 
Anyway, I hope you enjoy Gaudete Sunday as much as me and should I post a random music video on this blog late a night, you know what to blame it on.
In the meantime, this was a hit in 1972:

Not sure about the Catholic Churches timing of this, but in the Anglo-Saxon period the old day ended and new one began at sunset. Hence Christmas Evening and so on, now abbreviated to Eve.
