But the tradition of setting aside particular times to remember different aspects of the richness of the Christian faith can have great value.
For centuries January 6th, Epiphany, has not just been the day it's tradition to take down Christmas decorations but, much more importantly, the day when that many churches have particularly thought about the visitation to Christ by the Magi or wise men. They were wise, of course, because, unlike King Herod and his advisers who could not even be bothered to journey a few miles to Bethlehem, they crossed the their world because they saw that in this tiny baby the Lord of heaven and earth had sent a king unlike any other.
In this rare recording T S Eliot reads his poem "Journey of the Magi." Well worth a listen.
