Whatever happened to the “Week of Christmas” ?
I’m an old man now but I remember 15, 20, 30 years ago the
“Week of Christmas” was from Christmas Day to New Years Day.
During that week two or three evenings we’d visit friends, bring
gifts, have drinks and continue the Christmas Spirit. Friends would
come to our house. It was a busy week.
Back then we’d go to New Year Eve parties and part of it was
Christmas decorations were still up.
Last year we went to large hotel for their New Years celebration…
no Christmas decorations. The next day (New Years Day) we
went to two friends houses… no Christmas decorations.
Last year friends came to visit us that evening and two said,
“How nice… you still have your Christmas Tree up.”
Tonite we went to a nice restaurant (gift card)… no Christmas
decorations.
Goes to my new favorite saying… “Nothing Stays the Same.”
