The proof is in the hashtag.  It's that time of year again, and I'm working for the third Christmas Day in a row. What keeps me going from year to year? The anticipation and hilarity of #MassTweets. This year, however, the tweeting game has been raised (from one of the pews down the back to the altar) and we've embedded a few tweets for laughs. South Kerry Caller, known to locals as 'South Kerry’s premier news service', or, at least, it would like to think so, is 'The Online Edition of The Leaflet You Get At Mass'. Every county and parish should have one. Using the hashtag #MidnightMassIsFuckingClass, South Kerry Caller brought the world wide web Christmas Eve Midnight mass (at 8.30pm) from Daniel O’Connell Memorial Church and "shit got real".
