And now Epiphany starts. Actually, if my liturgical sense is correct, today is the first day of Christmas. It is the beginning of the twelve days of Christmas and extends to Epiphany which is January 6. It celebrates the coming of the wise men. If that is part of your tradition then, Merry Christmas but for those who are not in the Orthodox tradition it is now “Happy New Year.”
I have no trouble moving on from Christmas. I turned on my Christmas music after dinner on Thanksgiving and turn it off when I go to bed on the 25th. I have enjoyed every minute of the season. I look forward to next year. But it is time to move on.
So now the wish for you is Happy New Year.
It is time to begin to reflect on the past year and anticipate the next.
What a glorious time of year.
