I’m not going to say it. You know- “don’t do so much this Christmas season, simplify, don’t get stressed, …” I know you won’t listen. So I’ll do something better. I’ll help you get through it.

Christmas feels like chaos to most mothers but here’s the good news: God does chaos best. Really. When you run around like a crazy woman, many of you feel guilty because the “shoulds” creep in. I should be more spiritual, I should slow down, I should cook better cookies, etc. Then the “shouldn’ts” follow close behind.
“I shouldn’t be so materialistic. I shouldn’t feel so stressed. I shouldn’t be a pill to my family members.” I don’t know which hurts more- the shoulds or the shouldn’ts. How about we ditch them both and be nice to ourselves? I think that’s what God really wants us to do. He wants us to love Christmas because in the midst of our chaos and stress, that’s when He comes closest.
