Weekend of very little Labor

[roswtr]

Stupid overbooked weekends.

A couple months back, I made plans to go out to Virginia over Labor Day weekend for a surprise baby shower for my sister in law. I don't get back to see my family nearly often enough, but I was pretty sorry to miss the Knights Errant visit to Santa Cruz, and Count H's family Pit-n-Spit, and etaine_pommier and dave_orphal's barbeque

I'm not Catholic, but ..

the difference between a baptism and a christening is who makes the vows. A person who has reached the age of reason chooses to be baptised and makes the vows.

A christening is held when a person, typically an infant, is too young to make the vows on his (or her) own behalf; 2 or 3 adults (NOT the parents) make the vows on behalf of the infant. The adults additionally agree to raise the child in his or her parents' religion, should anything happen to the parents.

These days being a godmother or godfather is a more ceremonial position, but in previous centuries a godparent could potentially end up in the position of raising the child.
