Christmas is over. Crumpled gift wrap has gone into recycle bins. Santa has settled down for a long winter’s nap, or at least into an easy chair by the hearth, sipping a well-deserved eggnog; Rudolph has been put out to pasture.
And 2018 stands on our doorsteps, finger poised at the doorbell.
What now?
Hymnwriter Jim Strathdee answered that question:
When the song of the angels is stilled,
When the star in the sky is gone,
When the kings and the shepherds have found their way home,
The work of Christmas is begun!
The work of Christmas? Work? Surely you jest! Christmas is about fun, and family, and feasting -- not about work.
