Love the novel analogy for ordinary time. The idea that feast days are plot twists while ordinarytime is character development really captures something most liturgical explainers miss. Grew up in a non-liturgical tradition and always thought the liturgical calendar seemed overly structured, but framing it as ongoing growth rather than filler between holidays makes the whole system click. The CE Christian critique hits differentwhen you think about skipping all the development scenes and only showing up for the climaxes dunno if most churchgoers see it that way though.
I have never seen that version of the 12 Days of Christmas. Thank you for a wonderful belly laugh. I needed that!!

The 12 Days video was hilarious.
I also enjoyed your discussion of Epiphany, thank you
