| Surviving Xmas: Shattered Expectations |

|
listen to the weekend message Are you looking forward to Christmas this year? As the day nears is the pressure increasing or is your excitement growing? Maybe it’s a bit of both. And both might be related to our desire for Christmas to be the best ever, perhaps close to ideal. Everyone will be home. There is a bit of snow on the ground. No one has the flu. The firewood is cut, tree trimmed (and all the lights working!), food ready, and everything is in order. Then it happens! The airbrushed scenes painted in the carols and Christmas specials are ripped to shreds with the reality of life—illness, weather, sharp words, old hurts, whatever. Is this normal? How should we respond? |
