I saw this on Instagram the other day. 🙂 “The people being salty about early Christmas decorations are the same ones posting “It’s my birthday month!” Well, if we’re giving you a month, Karen, Jesus deserves at least two.”
“But grant me this one request,” she said. “Give me two months…” Judges 11:37a (NIV)
“Remember his covenant forever–the commitment he made to a thousand generations.” 1 Chronicles 16:15 (NLT)
I don’t know about you, but I tend to get in a minor funk once Christmas is over. The Christmas season is my favorite time of year. I love the build-up, the anticipation, and the ongoing celebration. I love the atmosphere: the music, the decorations and (for the most part) the overall kindness and generosity of people. The season never seems long enough, and I never want it to be over. Sometimes I have a tendency to try to prolong the season. I continue to listen to Christmas music, save Christmas movies on my DVR to keep watching, and leave my decorations up for as long as my husband will tolerate (read a funny story about that here). No, we are not the people who leave Christmas lights up year round (no judgment if you do!). And yes…I have a Christmas Countdown app on my phone that my kids and I look at throughout the year! I guess I just have a childlike wish to keep Christmas all year.
