Christians are not yet in the “holiday spirit”…as we are in the Advent Season. This is a time of Preparation, Anticipation, Repentance and Expectation…….we await the Christ Child, God Himself-Emmanuel !
There are in the Christian calendar 12 Days of Christmas, which begins on the Eve of Christmas Day and ends on Jan.6, the Feast of the Epiphany- also observed as 3 Kings Day.
Remember..these are HOLYdays and yes, we are to greet one another with a joyfilled Blessed Christmas..or Merry Christmas…leave the “happy holidays’ to the unbelievers.
