The nativity sets are still up in front of some places. Most Christmas lights will keep flashing for a couple of more weeks. Prices have been slashed on inflatable snowmen and extra-large rolls of wrapping paper. The garbage collectors have hauled off everyone’s 8 extra black bags of trash. And Jesus is forgotten. For a few hours he was remembered. Some met in church buildings, some read the gospel accounts of his birth, some posted Facebook messages about him.
Then the calendar read December 26 . . . December 27 . . . .
It will be more than 360 days until the world seems invited to call on him again.
Don’t wait that long.
He’s your present every day. He’s present every day.
