Christmas Needs More Than A Day…

We celebrate our veterans for a day. We celebrate our nation’s independence for a day. Just about every governmental holiday is observed by a single day. As Christians, even if the government doesn’t see the significance, we need to make every effort to stretch Christmas and Easter to it’s full season of celebrating. Otherwise, some people might think that Christmas is no more special than Halloween or Valentine’s Day.

We give it a day! And we don’t even really give it that day. We are so partied out ahead of time that we don’t even want to do anything but exchange some gifts and eat all before the day is half-over. This year, we aren’t opening all our gifts on December 25. We aren’t exchanging stockings with some of our family until after the new year, which is still in the 12 Days of Christmas. We are planning some meals and special get togethers during these 12 days to try to have a blast and really party hard because we have great reason to party. We are salmon swimming upstream in a culture of Christmas fatigue. Christmas needs more than a day and that is how we are going to try to operate.
