Most of us realize that real life isn’t a Hallmark movie, and that means Christmas can sometimes feel more like something to conquer or survive than the warm, fuzzy, joyous, oozing-with-love holiday we want and expect it to be. If we focus on that gap between our lofty expectations and reality, we’re likely to wrestle with some tough emotions. But in this episode Mary Ann and Luanne offer some practical advice about navigating this season and keeping the focus where it should be. If you want to dial up your joy meter, dial down your holiday-hoopla expectations, determine you’re going to be all about blessing and serving others, and take some time to think about and praise God for how He orchestrated the events of your life to bring you to Himself and rescue you from sin. THAT’s how you can have yourself a merry Christmas … and a merry life.
