No, I'm not crazy. (well maybe a little crazy)
In the Christian Church the new year starts with the first Sunday of Advent which is four Sundays before Christmas. Since last Sunday was the first Sunday of Advent - Happy New Year!
While the rest of the world rushes headlong into preparing for the arrival of Santa Claus, Advent is a time for Christians to anticipate and prepare for the Coming of Christ. We understand that Christ came 2000 years ago, yet each year we anticipate his coming anew into our lives. We also await the time when he comes again and God's reign is fully established on earth.
In the busyness of the holidays I hope that you discover a new arrival of the Holy.
O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel.
Happy New Year!
