How do you celebrate holidays?

View all responses

The word “holiday” came from the Old English word “hāligdæg,” which means “holy day.” Today “holiday” means a special day set aside to celebrate something and to focus on having as much fun as possible.

Of course, every day can’t be focused on maximizing our level of fun. We all have needs and responsibilities that we have to tend to. But every day can be seen as holy — as a gift from God of another 24 hours of life and opportunity.

Someone has said: “Every day above ground is a good day.” I concur and I choose to celebrate each one of them with gratitude, hope, and adventure as I rejoice in the presence of the risen Jesus.
