Christmas fatigue

Wow, it has been awhile since I have posted anything. Fatigue has set in as the holiday activities have begun. I am sure this is a common problem with many of us as we scurry around attempting to do everything that will ensure that perfect Christmas for our family and ourselves. I want to have the perfect tree and decorations, send out the yearly photo Christmas card, shop for the ideal present for each person on my list, and attend all of the "must do" events of the season. I mean, this is what Christmas is all about... Oh, wait a minute, this is what I have made Christmas become. What has happened to the celebration of the birth of my Lord. How am I showing the love of Christ to others this season? I think that I need to pray for compassion and love during this Christmas season and commit to a Christmas that represents Christ instead of one that reveals glitter and greed. How about you? What are you doing this year to celebrate the birth of our savior?
