A Christmas Sprint

Christmas isn’t a sprint to the finish line. It is called a season because it isn’t all about one day. The greatest joy comes in taking time to prepare for Christmas day in a way that makes things better. This is your chance to spend time with those you love, put thought and love into buying and giving presents, spread joy and happiness.

Don’t get me wrong, I realize this time of year is certainly busy. The question is: Is it meaningful, or is it just busy? Are you spending time creating memories and spreading joy, or are you doing a bunch of stuff because you just think it has to be done? Are you living the meaning of Christmas or racing to finish line so that on Christmas you can lie around, totally exhausted and spent, wondering why you do all this?

Take a deep breath. Look at your expectations and your to do list. Choose the things that really matter, the things that make a difference, and focus on those. See what happens.

I wish you a joy filled holiday season, and a very merry Christmas day.
