This week I have also been feeling a little like I’ve been drowning in the stress of the holiday rush, and other life exhaustion, and have come to realize there is no need to get worked up about a time that is supposed to be about relaxation and joyfulness. One of the reasons the holidays can cause stress is how we approach it. Often we try to involve ourselves in many holiday commitments, making sure we purchase gifts for everyone on our list, sending cards and packages, buying new decorations, cooking amazing meals, and baking holiday treats. It’s really just too much, and sometimes we need to realize that less can be more.
