Keeping A Holy Christmas

My annual rant and concern at Christmas time is that our secular, cultural, and “nostalgic” Christmas builds up through television and the marketplace to the “12 days of Christmas” (or even 24 on the TV) and December 25 comes along; and, you hear the voices, have the feelings – “it’s over!”

And yet, the Twelve Days of Christmas (and I am not singing the song) have just begun. My spiritual goal for these special holy days is to share my reflections. I begin with Christmas evening, and then each day of Christmas I invite you to join me as we reflect on this holy season.

Thank you, God, for becoming one of us – for the gift of salvation through your gift of Jesus!"

I invite you to join me in observing and reflecting on “A Holy Christmas” for the next 12 days!
