All Stressed up and no Place to Go:
Being Hospitable During the Holidays
without Being a Hot Mess
We feel a lot of pressure to measure up. This is true any time, but holidays bring out the best and the worst of it. Isn’t it odd how a time of year that is supposed to angelically sing “Peace on earth” too often fiendishly shouts—“You’re not good enough! You’ll never get it right!”?
Peace on earth seems like something you last got when you had an epidural.
Friends, if you think stress is what the holidays are all about--you’re doing it wrong.
Like Charlie Brown seeking the meaning of Christmas, we need to step out of the self- imposed spotlight and ask, “Is this what it’s really all about?”
The answer is no. No. It is definitely not. Do you want peace on at least your part of the earth, as well as a chance to show a scurrying, stressed, self-indulgent yet self-doubting world what Christmas is really all about?
