I wasn’t ready to put my Christmas decorations away but was going to as the church Christmas season has ended. After reading this, I’m going to keep them up a little bit longer as a reminder to me that we never have to put Christmas away.
Cecilia, I’m sorry for the loss of your husband. It’s wonderful to know that you could feel God’s presence surrounding you this Christmas.

Thank you for your reflection. Unfortunately, I am not sure if there was a difference for me this Christmas. I fell sick with COVID on 12/21 and ended up spending my Christmas holiday vacation alone in a room until New Year’s Eve. I am not sure if I have ever missed Mass on Christmas Day. Plus, during my recovery, I learned from a colleague about changes in my role at work, which our boss did not consult with me about beforehand. It was a stressful time.

We are so blessed to have you writing, reflecting and educating us. For me I will not put Christmas away. I need to bring my Christmas out into the world with small but important moments…Catholic Moments. Peace be with you my sister.

Christmas was definitely different since my husband passed away. 1st one without him. Was Christ with me, yes definitely! Christmas Eve Mass was ALIVE with Him in song, the Homily brought Him as THE LIGHT and THE SAVIOR! And then THE EUCHARIST, He came as BODY and BLOOD!

Thank you Mary for reminding me to reflect back and remember how God made Man touched me this Christmas.🙌 May we all bring Christ into 2024. Happy January everyone!

I especially like your last words, asking Jesus to keep coming in January. So encouraging if we haven’t been completely open to his coming at Christmas. A second chance.
