Christmas is everywhere. It has been everywhere since Halloween. What most people don't realize is that we are not really in the Christmas season. This is Advent. Originally Advent was a time of penitence, like Lent. Christmas is a shortening of Christ's Mass, celebrating the actually birth of Jesus in the Western Christian church. Orthodox churches celebrate on Epiphany, January 6, which celebrates the coming of the wise men. I know TMI. Enjoy the season.
