The Christmas Season holds out for us the deepest personal
joy. It is a season that begins on Christmas Eve, includes the
Solemnity of the Mother of God (New Years Day), Epiphany (Little
Christmas) and runs through the Baptism of the Lord (although the
ancient observance of this Season once lasted until Candle-mass at
the beginning of February). Throughout this time, the beautiful
greeting Merry Christmas is as much of a challenge as it is a wish.
The challenge and the wish have to do with beholding God who has
manifested his glory in our flesh.
