I’ve heard it said that Easter is too big of a celebration to be contained in one day, and we’re trying to live that this year, with Monday’s church service, special Bible lessons and storybooks in school, and extra craft projects. There may be no church service for us today, (although the lectionary provides for one, to continue the Easter celebration), but we did indulge in another family holiday tradition–Funfetti!
For one last time this Christmas season, the stockings have been filled (thank you Target after-Christmas clearance!), a special treat has been baked (it wouldn’t seem like a holiday without Pillsbury Funfetti!), and we will have one last day of “Christmas School” (complete with one last craft and story).
Epiphany signals the end of our Christmas celebrations, but for one more day, we can give gifts, joyfully say “Merry Christmas!” and enjoy our decorations and Christmas music!
