The Busyness of Christmas

[Rachel Reeves]

Mmm, I've been pondering on the busyness of Christmas and how the commercial stuff somehow sucks in the enjoyment, relaxation and excitement that should be Christmas. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Christmas but I've been feeling that other's seem to have less and less time to spare and that 'Grumpy' and 'Christmas' and 'Stress' seem to be spending more and more time together as the years jog along.

On the other hand I experienced something that truly amazed me today. A person that barely made time previously made time today and I enjoyed a relaxed and friendly side to this person which I hadn't come across before

Maybe you have something special which you would like to share that has left you suprised or amazed during this Christmas period?

I find most of the busyness is actually related to the kids - I have one with a birthday on 18 December, and school & kinder also finished up last week. Compared to that, Christmas is easy!

I'm constantly amazed at my kids - they've been having a great time buying gifts for people and getting involved in our church activities helping those with less than us, it's been truely amazing.
