Day after Christmas

Wow, I can't believe that Christmas is over already, it feels again like this season has went by so fast.

And so now we return back to work and back to our usual daily chores whatever they may be. January is a dual month, nobody ever does a whole lot cause they are all broke from Christmas and its the time of year you find a lot of people simply down and out.

It's like the season of Joy and anticipation just melted away like the delicate slipper in Cinderella when the clock struck twelve.

I have asked myself this question for years, does it have to be this way? Why... does it have to be this way? And what can I do, to stop that "day after Christmas" dullness?

This was inspired by a song I heard for the first time a few years ago and have listened to it a few times since.

"Happy the day after Christmas, Merry the rest of the year, Even when Christmas is over, the LIGHT OF THE WORLD is still here."


We so quickly go into our dreary minds after Christmas, and in doing so we forget even after Christmas, the true meaning of it all. Why can't we continue our happiness and show the world that Christmas actually means something to us?

Jesus wasn't born on Christmas Day and then disappeared at midnight. He is here. He is here with us and therefore I choose to be "merry the rest of the year" because the LIGHT OF THE WORLD, the SON OF GOD, the KING OF KINGS, and PRINCE OF PEACE is still here, and can be in each one of our hearts today if we ask Him.

Christmas isn't over, because Jesus didn't stay in the manger. He grew to be a man and then fulfilled God's Master plan for Him coming when He chose to die on the cross for you and I.

Giving a greater and bigger meaning to the Christmas message of joy, and hope, and salvation.

And so today, the "day after Christmas" don't allow the dullness to affect you, but rather take this opportunity to show the Gospel Christmas message all through the year.

God Bless,
