“Sometimes the expectations we impose upon ourselves actually take away from the joy of the season rather than magnify it.” Another gift that is free and we can give to ourselves and to others this Christmas season is the gift of letting go of expectations. Do some of the things we expect or think will make a really great Christmas really bring us closer to the Savior and thinking about what He has done for us? I share how so many movies and past holiday traditions and even media posts like the beloved Pinterest can show us what a really great Christmas should look like. I share a few examples of how, like a manual we might have for our husband, we can keep an unwritten manual in our heart for what a meaningful Christmas looks like. And that it’s ok if it doesn’t look anything like that. I also share this idea of maybe even doing a traditions audit with our family to decide the best activities that will help us worship the Savior. Hopefully this episode will help you realize that as long as we keep focused on Jesus Christ that is what makes a meaningful season.
