Holiday+Remedies



**Getting Stressed out??** **Feeling like the holidays are getting over-commercialized??** //See below for various ways to reconnect with WHY we celebrate the holiday season, and ways to remember Jesus in this stressful time of year.// Remember why we even celebrate Christmas; why this holiday is different from most others. God sent His son to earth to take on all of our sins and in order to give us eternal life with God in heaven. Jesus didn’t die for us to be miserable. He died for us to live a peaceful and joy-filled life! God loves you!

Remember how Linus responded to Charlie Brown’s poignant question, “Sure, I can tell you what Christmas is all about” and went on to recite Luke 2: 8-14:

//Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”// //And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” (NKJ)//
