Is Christmas over on December 26th?
All In Podcast
Why does Christmas feel like it ends as soon as it begins? In this episode of the All-In Podcast, John Michael, Jose, and Clayton dive into why Christmas burnout is real — and why embracing a longer season might be exactly what your soul needs. From the chaos of holiday expectations to the beauty of Advent, the guys explore how modern culture rushes past Christmas while the liturgical calendar calls us to slow down, savor joy, and actually celebrate longer than one frantic morning. In This Episode You’ll Hear: 🎬 Our Mount Rushmore of Christmas movies (and the Die Hard + Harry Potter debates) 🕯️ How Advent prepares us differently than secular holiday hype 🌞 Why St. John the Baptist’s feast day falls on the summer solstice — and what it reveals 🎉 Why Christmas is an octave (8-day feast!) and why the celebration shouldn’t stop on the 25th 👑 The cultural and spiritual meaning behind Epiphany and Three Kings Day 🌲 Why keeping your decorations up longer is good for your mind, your home, and your faith If you’ve ever felt overstimulated during the holidays — or wished Christmas didn’t disappear overnight — this conversation will help you rediscover the warmth of the season.
