The Post-Christmas Slump


Christmas, in the secular sense, is over.  After this Sunday, the Christmas Season will be over in the liturgical sense as well.  There are Christmas trees on the curbs awaiting collection on garbage day.  The winter days are just cold and gray.  And with the current political climate there is a feeling of trepidation and uncertainty in the air.  You might ask yourself, how am I supposed to keep the Christmas spirit with the world in this mess?

Yes, it is hard, especially when the post-Christmas slump hits and you might feel exhausted from all the activities that took place over the holidays.  It’s hard to go back to a regular work schedule.  It’s hard to go back to a “normal” life.

Try to keep a spirit of joyful anticipation in your heart.  What do you have to look forward to in the coming weeks and months?  How can you incorporate God into your waiting?  How can He help you to get through the inevitable “let down” of having to return to routine?
