Close your eyes and picture the perfect Christmas. The smell of fresh-baked goods filling the house. The tree glistening with ornaments and a fire crackling as the kids play with new toys. We start December with high expectations, but all too often, our quest for the picture-perfect day leaves us frazzled and stressed. The Christmas season becomes flooded with anything but joy as we race to find the perfect gift and open our homes to family, in-laws, and friends. If you don’t slow down, you’ll miss the joy of Christmas. In this two week series, we’ll unwrap the original meaning of Christmas and rediscover the reason for the season.
