Christmas Season

This is actually a repost which was published last June 11, 2024. The Catholic Christmas season starts on the Nativity, December 25, 2025 and ends on January 11, 2026, the Sunday Mass celebration of the Epiphany. The season includes the Octave of Christmas  (consisting of eight days of celebration) and ends after the Epiphany.The season of Advent begins this coming Sunday  November 30, 2025 and ends on December 24, 2025. It is the preparation for Christmas. Let us not forget why we celebrate it.

Listening to Christmas carols, watching those kids going from house to house caroling with tin cans on their hands though sometimes, they can’t even sing and follow the lyrics right. I love the anticipation of buying gifts for my family and planning what to prepare for Noche Buena and Media Noche. I love attending novena masses that culminate on Christmas eve. I love getting in touch with friends and relatives that I haven’t seen for so long.
