12 Days of Christmas

When are the twelve days of Christmas?  They are generally considered the days between Christmas and Epiphany.  Some say the twelve days are December 25 to January 5; some say they are December 26 to January 6.  Either way, Christmas has just begun or is just about to begin. 

Right now, many are cleaning up wrapping paper and ribbon and dealing with dirty dishes and empty bottles, thinking that Christmas is over for another year.  But isn't it really just starting?  The Christmas story is the story of a birth - and a birth is a beginning. 

Beginning now - December 25 - I am vowing to write every day for 12 days in this blog, hoping it will be the beginning of a more consistent writing practice.

Stay tuned.
