The holiday is made for you; you are not made for the holiday.

This statement is based on Jesus’ teaching, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath (Mark 2:27).”

So, you WILL NOT …

Make everyone happy.
Attend every party.
Remember every deadline.
Give perfect gifts.
Obtain that iconic family photo.

The holiday is for you to slow down, feast, enjoy, and savor. Christmas does not have to mean stress. We do not have to accept that narrative.

‘Tis the season to be jolly!
