So here we are on December 29th and I am wondering...where are all the Christmas songs on the radio? All the cars in the mall parking lot? The poinsettas in the sanctuary? The Christmas cookies? (Ok, they are still there, just getting a little stale) It's as if Christmas has disappeared and all the craziness that was December is now but a quiet echo.
Christmas has a huge build up to it. So huge that the day itself can almost feel like a let-down. After all the presents are opened and dinner is eaten, what's next?
In the relative quietness of these days in between Christmas and New Years, maybe this is the time to reflect. To think about what our year has been like and to look forward to a new year of possibilities. The hype has passed, the songs have been sung. Now it's time to let the quiet wash over us and reflect on all the blessings of the newborn Savior.
