This week is probably the peak of the holiday season. Before reflecting on the potential environmental impact of holidays, it’s good to remember that holidays are ‘holy days’. Like Sundays, holy days are days we are given for rest and for acknowledging that, along with all of creation, we are God’s handiwork.
Holidays should give us time to rest and to be refreshed, time to spend enjoying relationships with family and friends, with God and with creation. Time to be re inspired by all that is holy.
Preparing for a holiday might therefore include: what parts of me needs to rest, what needs refreshment, how can I make this holiday a time of joy.
