Wow.\u00a0 For something that stores start pushing in mid-October–does this Christmas seem to have flown?<\/p>\n

The day itself was beautiful, with lots of smiling people going by with packages and wishing “Merry Christmas!”\u00a0 But after Christmas breakfast, a walk and opening some cards, it just seemed to go zoom!<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s always a little bittersweet to see the sunset, on Christmas Day.\u00a0 Once again, the festivities are over and we’re back to everyday, ordinary life.\u00a0 Or, are we?<\/p>\n

I really love the British tradition that Christmas isn’t truly over until January 6th–Twelfth Night.\u00a0 As I was growing up, one of the nearby churches gave out a calendar, with different dates marked off.\u00a0 After December 25th was a line over the following week, with a beautiful word: “Christmastide”.\u00a0 So, according to that calendar, each day after Christmas still maintained the glow that made Christmas special.<\/p>\n

In my life, I have tried to observe “Christmastide” whenever possible, and to know that Christmas, in many ways, is never truly over.<\/p>\n

So, from now through January first, I’ll be posting information on Christmas events happening in California, that you might enjoy, and that continue into January.\u00a0 If you didn’t get a chance to see lights, go ice-skating or check out a special event, due to all the festivities happening all at once–now is your opportunity to experience them.<\/p>\n

Know a special, non-denominational event that celebrates Christmas anytime before Twelfth Night?\u00a0 You’re welcome to e-mail, at noelophile@gmail.com!<\/p>\n
