Christmas season is just that, it is a season in the Catholic Church. We celebrate Christmas from the birth of Jesus on December 25 all the way to the Baptism of the Lord, on January 12 this year. That is a whole season to celebrate Jesus's birth and to remember why we do all the fun things we do. Check back here often for the addition of more Christmas resources for use this season.
In our secular society, Christmas music, trees, decorations and Christmas merchandise pop up right after Halloween, so by the time Christmas Day rolls around, everyone is sick of Christmas and ready to put it away! But in the Catholic Church, Christmas Day is just the beginning of a whole season dedicated to Christmas. Celebrate the entire season this year, and find resources from the Diocese of Des Moines to help you intentionally live this season fully.
