Yes, it still is the Christmas season. We sent out our greetings prepared our
gifts, then just before Christmas we put up our tree and decorated. Now we are
celebrating the Christmas season, the twelve days, Yule log and such, with much
more focus on the meaning. When I was a child there was a debate among my
classmates as to how early to put up your Christmas tree. Many families still
waited until Christmas Eve.
Years ago many started complaining about Christmas music starting too early.
One year a station started after Halloween. That fad has passed. There are fewer
stations playing Christmas music and they don’t start until Thanksgiving. Now if
they would only continue until the Christmas season ends; January 5th, or the
6th, the Feast of the Epiphany.
I have noticed several homes along a path I drive ever
week that have not turned on the Christmas lights until Christmas, and they
still have them on. Many were taken aback by Thanksgiving being turned into a
shopping day. Then again, my siblings all said the churches they attended on
Thanksgiving were all full.
Recent events have shown that we as a nation are turning back to God. God
will help us save this nation.
God Bless!
