Welcome to the final edition of Christmas... in the news for Christmas 2025. This is a review of Christmas articles and news over the last week. I'm unsure what weekly feature I will replace this with while Christmas news is scarce, but check in with us next week to find out.
There are 355 days until Christmas 2026, but we know how quickly those days go by. Have you ever considered a Christmas planner like this digital download one from Etsy? I'm not much of a planner person, but this one seems helpful if you are.
Now, for the news. Seems like putting Christmas away was on this writer's mind. This is an article that appeared in the TimesNews out of Kingston, Tennessee. The TimesNews indicated in the article that they are partnering with local clergy to share "Words of Comfort." Denise Wooten asks, "...do we really want to 'put Christmas away' in our hearts?" You can read Denise's article here.
Did you know that Ireland has a day for women to celebrate Christmas? Well, you do now. According to Today, "Nollaig na mBan," which means "Women's Christmas," coincides with the Feast of the Epiphany, which Christians celebrate on January 6 to commemorate when the Magi brought gifts to Jesus. Curious to know more about Women's Christmas? Check out the article here. Wouldn't it be neat if we had this tradition in the United States?
In one of the most wonderful examples of repurposing, Gulf State Park in Baldwin County, Alabama, is collecting live Christmas trees to turn them into dunes along the beach. According to WearNews3, this is a community's annual tradition that dates back to 1979! I love this idea. Read more about it here.
Thanks for joining us throughout 2025 as we have brought you snippets of news from around the world.
I didn't know Ireland had a day for women to specifically celebrate Christmas. I'm familiar with the Feast of the Epiphany though. :)
ReplyDeleteI know about the latter as well. It's great to know that Ireland recognizes how much women have to do for the holidays and celebrates them. Thanks for visiting, Lindsi.
DeleteOf course. :)
