Podcast Description

The Twelve Days of Christmas follow from December 25 until January 6, the Feast of the Epiphany, the traditional date when the Magi arrived to present gifts to infant Jesus. For many, the meaning of these days is lost. By Christmas night we are saturated with the holiday hype, overfed by music and food, and may already be disappointed that the presents received are not enough. The book is not a bah humbug about Christmas customs and presents. This is simply an invitation to go deeper than the tinsel and wrappings, beyond the presents given and received, to the source of all the good gifts in life. Listners are invited to unwrap gifts that will last, praying the twelve days of Christmas.

Customer Reviews

to counter the last review

Haven't had time to listen to this yet, but wanted to counter the 1-star review below, since the person is evidently confused about what they were listening to. I've listened to and read many of the SSJE monks' reflections elsewhere, and have their Christmas CD, so I'm sure my stars are warranted.

Thoughtful & Centering

This series is refreshing, making me want to set everything aside and sit quietly with my eyes closed and listen, giving myself over to reflection, much as I would at church. Not to be confused with Christmas music - it's basically hour long sermons. Not everyone's cup of tea, but for the right audience, it's a welcome retreat from the commercialism of Santa.

I am so grateful for this book and Br. Curtis!

This series is wonderful. Even hearing one chapter is enlightening, soothing, encouraging and educational. They are brief enough that it is easy to listen to them all, and as a whole, it is a very compelling and lovely way to think about Christmas and God's way in the world. I can't say enough. Also, the brief hymns between chapters are very beautiful. Evermore and evermore...
