You Must Listen Before X-mas!!!!
READERS TAKE NOTE: TOMORROW'S FAST
(IN JERUSALEM) BEGINS 5:19 A - ENDS 5:02 P
If a public fast occurs on Erev Shabbat, we fast the entire day till the conclusion of the fast, even though it means entering Shabbat while fasting. Neither “Avinu Malkeinu” nor “Tachanun” are recited at Mincha, but there is Torah reading.
The fast continues until after the completion of Maariv for Shabbat (after the appearance of the stars). One should not eat or drink anything until after Kiddush.
Nowadays our calendar calculation is such that the only public fast which can fall on Erev Shabbat is the tenth of Tevet. (Source)
Good Jews!! Very important!!! It is brought in many sources to say [on the 25th] with tremendous concentration the "Aleynu" prayer. Go for it !!

Wow! Rav Richter mentioned at the start that he lived in Elon Moreh. When I stayed in Karnei Shomron years ago, I seem to remember that Elon Moreh was no more than a handful of caravillas on the hilltop, pretty much surrounded on all sides by perry adams, and some absolutely stunning vistas. I'll take the stunning views over the perry adams any day :)
