It’s okay if this isn’t the best Christmas ever. You don’t have to keep up with the Joneses to enjoy the season.
Often, a simple and low-key Christmas—centered around the few traditions you actually enjoy—is more than enough.
Christmas was meant to bless you, not stress you. Jesus said His yoke is easy and His burden is light. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you don’t need someone’s permission to opt out of some activities so you can rest and celebrate in a way that works for you this year.
Don’t let the pressure to perform distract you from what God wants to form in you this season.
