Switching from Christmas to New Years Mode
Some of us are still celebrating with family.
Some of us are already packing away all the holiday decorations.
Some of us are still on vacation mode not quite ready to go back to work.
Some of us, pastors, law enforcement, EMT’S, nurses, never got the day off. (Thank you!)
But we all can look at the calendar and see 2011 quickly ending and December almost gone.
I have a guest blog over at my friend and fellow Christian blogger, Phather Phil. Please check out his wonderful blog.
Found this great song by Matthew West that seemed very appropriate for this week of in-betweeness. Here are the lyrics to enjoy while you listen to the videos
“Day After Christmas”
Here comes the letdown Christmas is over
Here comes the meltdown, there goes the cheer
But before we have a breakdown, let us remember
The light of the world is still here
Happy day after Christmas
And merry rest of the year
Even when Christmas is over
The light of the world is still here
The light of the world
Come January I’m ready for summer
The Super Bowl’s over and I’ll settle for spring
Sometimes we all need a change in the weather
But it won’t change the reason we sing
Happy day after Christmas
And merry rest of the year
Even when Christmas is over
The light of the world is still here
The light of the world
The light of the world
The light of the world
So take down the stockings, take back the sweaters
Take down the lights and the star and the tree
But don’t let this world take your joy after Christmas
Take joy to the world and just sing
Happy day after Christmas
And merry rest of the year
Even when Christmas is over
The light of the world is still here

The light of the world [x7]
May the true Light of the World brighten your everyday!
