The Pressure to Have a Perfect Christmas

You are seated on that couch presently, and what comes to mind is how well you have planned for the coming season of love. You are lost in that stream of thought, and you are trying to go through a reality check on how well your Christmas celebration will be.

Have you gotten enough gifts?

Have you fixed every part of feeding for your family and friends?

Have you settled the vacation schedule?

How much fun will you have?

Do you even have to do all of these?

The Reality of Holiday Stress and Family Dysfunction

These might be some of the questions you are battling with. Actually, the question is, is there such thing as a perfect Christmas at the end of it all!

An array of very appealing displays of flamboyance in the colorful arrangement of the Christmas lights and trees in their fascinating perfection. A variety of the best meals arranged pleasingly with little effort. Fulfillment in the presence of family members, presents, and what have you. Happiness all over! This description fits what most of us desire as a perfect Christmas celebration.

Let me state this very clearly at this point. CUT YOURSELF SOME SLACK, QUIT THE WORRIES; THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PERFECT CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION!

Instead of worrying about having the ‘perfect’ Christmas celebration, take a pause and breathe! We all want to enjoy the Christmas celebration, that is true. But, the way it will all turn out at the end of the day will never be the same with the plans you had in your heads!

You can, however, have the best fun from the Christmas celebration by merely concentrating on the essential purpose of the Christmas season and holiday, celebrating that Life sent from heaven into this earth to change our own lives!
