Stress or Enjoy?

Well I have officially reached my stressful season. I'm trying to decide if I should just forget about all the stress and just go and enjoy the holiday season. It's been so long since I've just let everything go and let myself enjoy the season. Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas. It's my favorite time of year, but with the joy comes an elementary production, a high school production, and of course the Christmas eve service which based on what we are doing that year could be considered a production. All in all though, I wouldn't trade it for anything. There are those that would argue for Thanksgivings sake. I mean the poor holiday gets left out in the cold at our house. We go from dressing up and handing out candy to putting up stockings and singing carols in the kitchen. I am thankful still. I hope you don't stress out too much throughout this season. Let God's love and gift of life encourage you to let go of everything else and just enjoy the season. I'm having to learn this concept and I think it's gonna make this a season to remember!
