No Time for New Years

Does anyone else out there not like the fact that New Year's Day is a mere 7 days after Christmas? We completely miss out on the New Year. Not the celebration and I do like the fact that we get a longer break. But New Year's Day is a day to reflect and plan the new year. What happens is by the time we get through the Christmas 'hangover' New Year's Day is upon us. We don't think we just make silly resolutions. When was the last time you really thought about your resolutions? When was the last time you really thought about you and your life and where you are going?

So maybe for Christmas this year we ought to give ourselves the gift of reflection. The gift of New Years, and then turn to the gift of Christmas, Christ, to bring newness in the new year.

Happy New Year and Merry Christmas
