The Season Of Advent Has Begun
The season of Advent has begun for many in the Christian tradition. This is a time of prayer, reflection and waiting for the birth of Jesus Christ. Advent is also the beginning of the church year. It’s a time of celebration and joy, too.
Christmas is on its way. Enjoy the journey.
Thought Of The Day 11022025
To help us cope with the insanity of the present, we need Christmas movies, nostalgia, brain candy, and pop culture to help us make it through.
I will be posting more about all these things in the days ahead. We need some aid and comfort in these days.
Granted, we can’t bury our heads in the sand, but we need diversion.
Christmas Was Just Yesterday
Christmas Day was just yesterday (12/25) and I am having a hard time believing it. Seems like it was last week or something like that.
Happy Boxing Day – December 26th
Boxing Day, the traditionally British holiday recognized the day after Christmas, offers an extension of the festivities. People in countries like Canada, the U.K. and South Africa spend an extra day with friends, shopping or watching sports.
It’s origins come from a time during Queen Victoria’s reign when the rich used to box up gifts to give to the poor. Boxing Day was traditionally a day off for servants – a day when they received a special Christmas box from their masters. The servants would also go home on Boxing Day to give Christmas boxes to their families.
To all celebrating I hope it has been a good day of being with those you love and care about.
Happy Holidays For Real
There are eight days of Hanukkah. Twelve days of Christmas. Seven days of Kwanzaa. Not to mention New Year’s Eve and Day. There is lots of celebrating to do. Be safe, have fun, be blessed. God be with you all.
