Christmas Hustle and Bustle....

We're coming on Christmas, it's coming on strong! Based on what I am reading in the blog lines I get the idea that some of you are feeling some holiday stress, loss of joy, can't get your groove back, lost your mojo...nothing to laugh about here. Those emotions twist us up in knots! Well now, maybe it's time to consider what really matters, forget about doing what doesn't matter so much, and, when you're feeling like you've had enough doing, that's it, no more!

Take a moment to look inside your heart, calm your busy mind and you will remember that Christmas is not about the shopping, the baking, the sewing or excessive holiday decorating. It's about the celebration of a birth. Remember? It's about a birthday, but it's not our birthday that we are celebrating.

So why the overload? Why so many gifts to buy, things to do, quilty things to sew, places to go, food to eat, perhaps spending beyond our means and then stressing over all of it? Please, take a deep breath...light a birthday candle and relax.
