The Last Day of Christmas

Counting from Christmas, 06 January is the twelfth day. When we were younger, the feast of the Epiphany was celebrated on that day. Somehow, that seemed to mark the end of the Christmas season back then. Perhaps it was usually the time when we would have to go back to school.

Considering we are still within the octave of Christmas, let me share this interesting video from youtube. I know I may be a tad behind watching this youtube video (the view counter had 4,450,940 by the time I got to it) but am posting it here just in case you missed it.


It may seem kind of funny seeing how the nativity would have unfolded in the modern day but the truth is many of the past traditions are changing. I have noticed that not too many people send Christmas cards nowadays. These have largely been replaced by text or email messages in the past years. And now, even text and email messages have been replaced with generic FaceBook greetings.

I must admit that I have never been one to send Christmas cards so I am quite thankful that technology has not only enabled me to send out my Christmas letter on time this year (with a family picture to boot) but it has also given me a chance to receive dozens of greetings from family and friends.

Hope you had a great Christmas.
