Hope the celebration of advent is producing a fruitful Christmas season. Now that it is the Christmas season we have to try to stay in the spirit even though society wants Christmas to be over. Our family tries to stay in the spirit by still playing music and movies of the season. Since during advent we lit a candle each week in anticipation of Christmas, we continue to light a candle before dinner, but it is a white candle for the Christmas season. We also use the reading from the Liturgy of the Hours instead of the advent candle prayer. Praying the Liturgy of the Hours and the daily readings for Mass is the best way to stay focused on this season of Christmas.
