For all my adult life I've always been one of the early birds for putting up the Christmas tree. As soon as the dishes from Thanksgiving dinner are in the dishwasher I'm getting things out of the attic to start decorating. This year I haven't felt that same urge to decorate -- here it is less than 3 weeks to Christmas and we've done nothing. It just feels different this year.... anyone else in the same boat? Aye, mate! Same boat. Probably won't even decorate anything. Oh well. We've always done the traditional 12 days of Christmas. Tree goes up 12/24 and is lit after church. It comes down after 1/6 Epiphany when the Wise Men come. I am hopeful for a rapture in the next year or so anyway. If it happens to be this month, I want all who take over my house to know I was worshiping my Lord big time. So I am busy decorating. I don't think that came out right. I am not one to have Bible verses on plaques hanging on walls. And a nativity at Christmas is a big statement these days to unbelievers. I know we don't need decorations to worship.
