This is addressed only to those who use or read the fine ORDO published by the English Latin Mass Society.
Last Sunday, Christmas Eve, the instructions given for Mass puzzle me. Has something gone wrong?

Well, I did notice that it told us not to use Credo. But the missal was clear, so no problem.
Mass of Advent 4 should have been supplanted by that of Vigil of Nativity of Our Lord?
Yes, sorry that was indeed an editing mistake--I was annoyed with myself for not spotting it before we went to print, but there has been an erratum on the LMS Ordo page for the last couple of months.
Merry Christmas to you!
My Missal required a Creed and an Alleluia. So I ignored the Ordo
You refer to the instruction that flowers and organ are permitted? Fascinating.
Having spoken to a friend (whom I shall not insult with the pejorative name of liturgist, but who knows his liturgy - quite different), we observed these rule here, with modest flowers, and organ during the Mass, I shall not reveal where one is. It generated much interested discussion from the director of music and a curate.
The logic, I understand, is that the penitential aspect of the vigil cannot be observed on a Sunday, - the fast being obviously transferred to the Saturday (but not the vigil itself as would happen with an Apostle or otehr feast) - and in the light of this the joyful expectant nature of the Christmas vigil may already come into play, slowly revealing (but faster than in normal years) the glories of the morrow.
All of this makes sense to me! along with the delicious anomaly of saying first Vespers of a Sunday which does not exist. At least the older form commemorates the Sunday, by 1962 this too has gone. Every later change to the Christmastide liturgies and calendar makes it more and more complicated and illogical.
A very happy Christmas.
