Celebrating Christmas after December 25th? Isn’t that a little strange?
Maybe. Some may feel strange celebrating Christmas after the actual day is come and gone. Some of us feel pressure to get rid of the decorations, to move on to the next holiday, to put the rush and mess (and expense and exhaustion and conflict) of Christmas behind us.
And, because of this natural lull, the time between Christmas and the New Year becomes a perfect opportunity for spiritual formation after all, Christmas is just getting started. The beauty of Emmanuel—God with us—is just beginning. With the rush behind us, may we meet God anew as this New Year unfolds.
