My hangup is that my church (Episcopal) does not seem to realize that Christmas starts the day after Thanksgiving.
They refuse to sing carols until Christmas Eve.
And then Sunday, when we’re out of the mood, we got carols.
Okay, they were beautiful and kinda put me back in the mood, but ...
One of my friends at church used to say, it’s ridiculous for Jesus to want to celebrate his birthday when we’re all so busy with Christmas.
Hmmmm, my late mother-in-law’s Episcopal church used to do a “Lessons and Carols” service on a Sunday afternoon sometime before Christmas.
