If you are looking for a way to bring deeper meaning and a healthy rhythm to the crazy commercialism of the American Christmas experience, grab a copy of Christmastide: Prayers for Advent Through Epiphany by Phyllis Tickle. This modern adaptation of the sixth-century Benedictine Rule of fixed-hour prayer puts preselected prayers, psalms, readings, and refrains in your hands for everyday of the Christmas season. The daily offices are for morning, noon, and vespers.
