How many times have you come to the end of the holiday season feeling like December went by in a blur of pointless activity and stress?

Today I want to encourage you to take time early on to be thoughtful and purposeful with your holiday schedule. I will give you some tips on how to hold a family meeting and do some backwards planning so that you can maintain margin to savor the season, to delight in the small joys of Christmas, and to welcome whatever God ordains for your days.
