Yeppers..presents are opened. Turkey is cooked. Candy is gone. Pudding has been downed. Tree has lost its lustre. Carols have become monotonous. Work is hearkening above the chorus of angels. Bills are arriving as the guests are departing.
It's Over!
or is it?
I don't think so TIM
I think if one has really celebrated a true Christmas filled with Peace On Earth and Good Will Towards Men showing kindness and forgiveness to all then I suspect that Christmas 2012 will never truly end. I bet its effect will reverberate throughout the coming months even if not everyone understands all the theological implications and possibilities.
The Miracle of Christmas that God sent His Son to live among us here on Earth is not the end of Christmas Miracles.
I think Christmas Miracles still happen every year even after 2000 plus years in the form of the amount of Forgiveness, Sacrifice for Others, and expressions of Love not only towards family , but also towards strangers that occurs for these few short weeks of the year.
The effort to reconnect with one another through gift giving, traveling long (and short) distances to be with friends and family, along with the expressions of Good Will through seasonal cards, letters, emails, and visits all prove to me that Christmas Miracles happen and continue to act as banners for the Reason for the Season.
There were many many people in many many lands affected by this year's Christmas. Many people found it in their heart to reach out, to forgive, and to feel compassion for others that perhaps if it were not for the Season these relationships and opportunity for growth would not have occurred.
Tree drying up? Yep.
Gifts all opened? Yep.
Food all eaten? Yep
Christmas over?
Nope..not by a long shot.
