Celebrate Christ Every Day

December 2, 2025 - When asked on which day Christmas is primarily celebrated, most people would agree on December 25th. But what if you received a calendar that had Christmas Day printed on EVERY day of the year? Would you be annoyed, grateful, or a little of both?

I put up my small artificial Christmas tree before Halloween in 2024. There was a video that included my tree that I was planning on posting on Christmas Day last year and I wanted to get it done early. So, the tree went up and stayed there into 2025.

Then January came, then February, then March and so on until I arrived to July and Christmas 2025 was closer than Christmas 2024. And so I left it up. It's there right now as I prepare this newsletter.

Seeing it day after day throughout the year has been a sweet reminder that celebrating Christ should never be reserved for a day or even a season. Celebrating Him as our Savior and Redeemer is something to remember and honor ever day of the year.

Beside leaving your tree up 365 days of the year, here a few suggestions to making Christ the center of your life every day.

1. Consider your daily devotions of pray and scripture study to help you learn to know and love Him in a deeper and more intimate way.
2. Meditate on His character throughout the day, especially when interacting with people who are difficult to love. How would He see them?
3. Embrace joy - even in the hard times. Because He overcame death, through Him, we can get through whatever hardship we may encounter.
4. Follow His teachings and commandments, both large and small. Prioritize living a Christlike life a everyday.
5. Make and keep covenants with God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. Hold to those promises you have made to Them, as well as the promises that They have made to you.

Celebrating Christ every day just might be the most transformative decision you will ever make.

​

So until next time, always keep your eye on the One that loves you most. Ciao!
