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
