Keeping Christmas


Well, by this time you most likely have your Christmas tree up & decorated. Presents are probably bought & wrapped. Christmas is upon us.
Unfortunately, many people, including good Catholics have lost the sense of the Season. I mean that for many, Christmas ends on December 25th or at least by New Years Day.
Will you be keeping Christmas for the entire season? Remember the 12 days of Christmas song? It is meant to remind us that Christmas lasts more than one day or one week. Growing up, we called the feast of the Epiphany on January 6th "Little Christmas" . Our Church celebrates Christmas until the feast of the Baptism of the Lord (January 13th this year)
Will this be a season of joy for you? Will you keep Christmas alive for the whole season, especially in your heart and home. Show the world the full meaning of Christmas by bringing Christ to others, especially those who may not be of good cheer. Let your decorations stay until at least January 6th, the feast of the 3 Kings.
How will you keep Christmas more this year than in the past/ Enter a comment and let me know.
