Christmas is my favorite time of year. I love everything about it. The decorations, the music, time spent with family, the spirit of giving, and celebrating the birth of Jesus. There isn't a more magical time of year in my opinion. But as with every year, the Christmas season ends and I always feel a little down about it.
It always starts Chtistmas night. The realization sets in that this is the last hurrah for the Christmas season. Winter is a cold and dark season, and Christmas makes it all seem better. But what about these next two to three months? That's why the end of Christmas always depresses me. Winter against the lights of Christmas isn't such a big deal, but when the lights are down and it's even darker out there, it can be daunting.
So, I guess the only way to combat the gloom if winter is to keep that Christmas spirit alive. We don't have to stop giving, spending time with family, or celebrating Jesus just because Christmas is over. What if the Christmas spirit were genuinely carried on past Christmas one year? I think that would be a wonderful sight. So to anyone reading this, I hope you had the merriest of Christmases, and let's carry it on into a new year!
