Here is something I was thinking about the other day.
Christmastime is always a stessful and hectic time of the year for all of us.
We take the most drastic measures to prepare wether it is to finish our shopping early or starting the decorating process in early November.
No matter what initiative we choose,there will always be stress.
Can it be completely relieved? I don't think so.
About 2000 years ago,holiday stress was not uncommon.
You have to understand the stress that Mary and Joseph endured upon yhe arrival of our Savior-what a precursor to what we face today.
Yet most of our stress we face has nothing to do with Christ-it is the pomp and circumstance that goes with the holiday.
Mary and Joseph didn't have to worry about decorations or cookies or presents;more like a place for Mary to have baby Jesus. And to end up in a stable neverthless.
Pondering Christ's arrival,its signifigance brings us back to the proper frame of mind what Christmas is about-it existed before retailers and Hallmark made it a official "holiday",
Christmas began before creation existed- the plan formed by the Heavenly Father Himself,not Father Christmas...
