Christmas Season: Don't stop on December 25 as the secular season
fizzles out. Plan some of your Christmas-season socializing with family and
friends after Christmas Day. More importantly, find appropriate celebrations
for the liturgical feasts of the season. For example:
· Get all of
the immediate family together for dinner on the Feast of the Holy Family. (In
many families this will turn the day into a major event, especially if there
are teenagers and young adults.)
· On New
Year's Day, when we celebrate the Solemnity of Mary and World Day of Peace,
reflect on Mary's role in the Incarnation as you pray the joyful mysteries of
the rosary for peace.
· Take time
on the Feast of the Epiphany, a gift-giving day in many Catholic cultures, to
go through your wardrobes and toy chests and decide what you can now give away
after all the new things you received at Christmas. You can also use the
Epiphany to make decisions about how to donate your time and money in the new
year.
