Holidays and Celebrations
In my mind it is not Christmas without a tree. I dragged my tree and decorations out of storage yesterday even though I had to move alot of things to do it, so I am in the middle of decorating my home these days. It is a lot of work, but worth every bit of it. I never take my tree down or put away my decorations until after the 12th night (around January 6th or 7th). One year I had it up until the end of January when I had bronchitis !! I had a real tree that year. My neighbors must have wondered about me when they saw me dragging it out to the trash on January 31st. Oh well.
I also love Christmas Eve or Christmas Day services.
Church on Christmas felt like something miraculous when I was a child. It still does.
