The month of December always seems to be one of the busiest of the year. Work goes on as always, but added to that are additional items in preparation for the end of a year, plans for a new one (business) and the inevitable Christmas parties and shopping. If you still have young children, or grandchildren there are programs to attend. Church Christmas programs also mean extra rehearsals for those involved.
I like the busy-ness of the season, but it often adds to the level of stress for many. Fortunately, I'm not usually especially stressed. I realized long ago that I can't do it all and therefore I don't worry so much about what doesn't get done; I know it will all work out.
The stress of the season is not a good thing. It takes away from the meaning of Christmas. We should be focused on family and friends and most of all, the reason we celebrate in the first place -- Jesus. In spite of what the world would try and push on us otherwise, Christmas should be all about the gift of Jesus.
As you go about your busy-ness this year, remember the reason we celebrate.
