Episode 6- 3 Ways and One Word for You Mom to Cultivate Christmas Calm
Holidays or Holidaze? 3 Ways to Actually Enjoy the Christmas Season.
Today I’m starting the three-week series Cultivating Christmas Calm.
Which is it for you? HOLIDAYS or the HOLIDAZE?
Is this season more like The Most Wonderful Time of the Year or A Nightmare Before Christmas?
Do you want the holidays to be merry and magical, bright and beautiful…but all too often they feel like a long season of added stress?
Well you can take control of this holiday season.
It’s like the classic line, Life can either happen to you or for you!
Same with the holiday season. The holidays can either happen to you or for you!!
You can choose to attend every beautiful church service available throughout your town. And you will likely experience too much of a good thing.
You can refuse to compromise and say yes to every single holiday opportunity and you will indeed experience the H O L I D A Z E.
Your head may spin. The kids will be cranky and possibly sick (don’t they just get sick at the most inconvenient times?). Your marriage may be stretched. And you may actually disappoint someone despite the fact that you have tried your very best to be everywhere for everyone.
Or you can say No!
Over the course of the next few weeks, we’re going to be talking about the many things you can do or NOT do to make sure you have happy holidays this year – to Cultivate Christmas Calm.
Let’s talk about a Christmas that checks the most important boxes for you.
You matter, Mama! And that’s why what you imagine for Christmas matters too. Remember to get your free download.
Next week I’ll be sharing more ways to Cultivate Christmas Calm in our families so we can have a very merry holiday season.
I’d love to pray for you.
May you experience the beauty of Christmas as we head into this most wonderful and busiest of seasons. May you sense the Lord’s presence as you navigate the holidays. May His peace, love, and grace settle upon you and your household. And may you have moments of both the glory and simplicity of Christ come to live among us, a mere baby who would forever change our world. I lift you up in prayer, Mama. In Jesus’ name, amen.
One more very important announcement. I am preparing a Christmas Calendar of Prayers for a Mother – a short, simple Scripture-based prayer for each day of December. I know it will bless you. Coming soon...
Bless you Mama!
