Tired of the stress, exhaustion, and impossible expectations of the "perfect Christmas"? This series, "Finding Christmas," cuts through the holiday noise to uncover the true substance of the season. We explore how to move beyond the fragility of **anxious wishing** to the rock-solid foundation of a **confident expectation** in God, redefining what Hope really means. Next, we challenge the idea that Peace is merely the *absence of chaos*, finding instead the **presence of wholeness** (*Shalom*) in the midst of life's mess. Finally, discover that Joy is not a feeling you must **manufacture**, but a profound **reality you receive**—the good news that a Savior has come for you, right where you are. Stop just trying to survive the holidays and start finding the eternal heart of Christmas.
