• Christmas 2023

  December 26, 2023

  Christmas is here! Finally! Although, really Advent seemed to go by in a flash. And we got a White Christmas. We weren’t just dreaming of a white Christmas, we got one, and it was lovely. We didn’t get a lot but a pretty dusting like a present given on Christmas morn. And from Midnight Mass: […]

• Almost Christmas!

  December 16, 2023

  Looking back at my last post on September 30, I was saying it was almost October. Well, now it’s almost Christmas! Wow! This tells me two things: First, that I don’t update this blog very often! Second, that time is moving faster than fast these days!! So, given that, I hope your Christmas preparations are […]

• The Twelve Days of Christmas

  December 28, 2020

  As I said in a previous post, Christmas is not just a single day — as the world and the retailers would have you believe. No. It is an entire season of days! This makes sense. It took four weeks of preparing during Advent to get to Christmas. So, why, after all that buildup and […]

• Favorite Christmas Movie

  December 27, 2020

  I have several favorite Christmas movies, but the most favorite of all is It’s a Wonderful Life. This is not only my favorite Christmas movie, but my favorite movie! We all know the story by heart, so there’s no need to repeat it. The question remains, though: Why do I love it so much? I […]

• Favorite Christmas Songs

  December 23, 2020

  I love Christmas songs, sacred and secular, but it’s important to distinguish, at the outset, between “Christmas” songs and “Winter” songs. Strangely, many “Winter” songs are considered “Christmas” songs and thus receive radio air-play only before and on Christmas Day. Christmas is actually a season consisting of many days not just one, but I’ll leave […]
