Merry Christmas and many blessings to all. May everyone enjoy the season of Christmas. The true season is the time set aside by the Roman Catholic church in the liturgical calendar that lasts for twelve days, until the Feast of the Epiphany. The time is now over for rushing and baking and shopping. Now is the time to enjoy the true gift of Christ Our Lord. The Christ who came to be born in hearts, our homes and our lives. The Christ who is found in the Catholic church, in the Holy Eucharist. That baby Jesus that lay in the manger that Christmas day is who we celebrate on this Christ Mass day.
Leave your trees up. Leave your decorations up, all until the Feast of the Epiphany on January 6. Perhaps even consider leaving your manger scene up until February 2, Candlemas, the feast of the presentation in the temple.
Enjoy the season and grow in your love of the Lord.
Merry Christmas.
