The genius of the TLM is that when a feast day falls on a Sunday or is of such importance, that it would be “right and just and helpful for our salvation” to celebrate both on a Sunday, is something the Modern Mass would do will to recover.
At Savannah’s TLM for the 16TH Sunday after Pentecost, I was able to prayer not just the Collect for the 16TH Sunday, but also the Collect for the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This is also extended to the Post Communion Prayer.
Also, feasts like the Immaculate Conception or others celebrated earlier in the week can be celebrated again in the same fashion at the following Sunday Mass as an external feast.
Here are some photos from the Nativity of the Blessed Mother on the 16TH Sunday after Pentecost, yours truly celebrant:

Praise God for liturgies that allow us to hold two ideas at the same time. I was happy to include our Blessed Lady's in yesterday celebrations both in the pre-conciliar office and the Ordinariate office, the latter of which gives a fairly free hand with additional collects.
Bugnini's infantilization of the lay faithful (Commemorations--too complicated! Septuagesima? Confusing!!) is very sad and, ironically, eminently clericalist.

The NO altar really isn't bad, but I wish it could be moved to provide an unobstructed view of the altar that can and should be used for any celebration of the holy sacrifice.
You don't realize how much the counter-style altar is in the way until you see that it's really just in the way and to my eye, adds little to nothing.
