Tired of the “Christmas rush,” when the season for festive joy gets hijacked by commerce, anxiety, maybe even exhaustion?
Sometimes we’re tempted with the thought of simply opting out. However, a life devoid of celebration - of parties and feasts and, yes, even extravagance - is no way to live.
What to do? Imagination is the key. Be inventive, establish new rituals (or revise old ones): within your congregation, your family, even your workplace.
What follows is a list of practical suggestions. Use them to grease your own imagination. And remember: Perseverance is more important that heroic effort. This year decide on one or two changes. Then build on these in the future. Use these initiatives to establish and maintain new relationships.
Take a look at these suggestions published by the Baptist Peace Fellowship of North America - but no longer available from them.
