…because we need a little Christmas,
right this very minute…
Let’s roll out the holly! This is one of my favorite days of the year!
From now on, we’re getting closer to Christmas than farther away from it.
By a cool coincidence, the Feast of St John the Baptist is also six months away from Christmas. Just like Christmas comes right after the shortest day of the year (so that the Light is coming into the world), John the Baptist’s birthday comes right after the longest day of the year (so when he says, “I must decrease and He must increase” he really means it).
So crank up the carols, light the lights, and party like it’s Christmas morning! And let’s hope the next six months just keep getting better and better!
