No Room at the Church

LAST YEAR, Christmas Eve came on Wednesday, the night of our regular AA meeting at a church. Because our meeting room was to be used for scheduled religious services, we were told we could use the choir room. But when a few early arrivals gathered, the pastor told us that the choir room was not available, either. We alcoholics ironically reminded one another of the very first Christmas Eve, when a certain pair were also told there was no room.
