My mother and I were discussing this the other day: She doesn't recall Jan 1 being a Holy Day of Obligation when she was a child (pre Vatican II) and I don't either.
Does anyone know if it was recently made a Holy Day of Obligation? Or were both my mother and I poorly catechized? Haha
Thanks,
Christmas BEGINS on the 25th of December- it ends on Kings Day, Jan 6th.Then it’s King Cake time-and Mardi Gras. My tree stays up until it looks ‘tired’. I enjoy looking at it-sometimes till March! Tried switching over to a Mardi Gras tree one year-uh, no...too weird.
