Ahh, December! What is December besides the last month of 2021 and December 1 is our granddaughter's birthday! We begin to panic December 1 when our shopping isn't finished, meals aren’t planned, gifts aren't made--Oh, I meant to begin that last January but life got in the way and the days ticked by--swiftly!!
We know that Christmas is celebrated in the month of December--BUT, most likely the reason for our celebration--Jesus' birth-- didn't really happen in the month of December--
It is not believed Jesus was born on the day Christmas is globally celebrated. Instead, Christmas was chosen as a convenient celebratory day on the same day of a pagan holiday that celebrated the winter solstice, according to The History Channel.
None the less, if you believe, then it's a beautiful story for you and me, no matter what month Jesus was born.
On a secular note--there is a
calendar for national day of:--today, December 2 is
So, if you are ever bored and want to know what to do on what day--look it up on the above calendar--always something to think about on that special day!
Another thing to do daily is countdown to Christmas! Each day December 1-26 from Moda!
Making lists is another prority for December! List of cards to be sent out; list for foods to buy; list of gifts to buy; list of events; list of times to shuffle to the airport; list of lists!!
Sometimes, we need to take time to sit and reflect on what we are doing in our lives--is it necessary to panic--nope! it will all get done one way or the other! no need to place extra burdens on our weary minds or bodies--if, it doesn’t get done, so What?
okay, I"m off to begin knitting those darn socks that I should have started days ago!!
While My ears are listening to Book of Revelation on The Bible REcap off Podbean--look for the app on your device; if you didn't think there was stress enough, listening to Book of Revelation is another thing!!
