It All Over— it is a sad title to start any blog or story isn’t it? On a whole we don’t like sad things, they make us feel uncomfortable, spoil our day generally putting a dampener on all around us.
But be that as it may be Christmas is all over for another year. Was that a sigh of relief I heard? I think if we all were to answer honestly we would say that Christmas is probably one of the most stressful times of the year.
Please don’t misunderstand me here. Capt. Corsair and I and the two spitfires had a lovely time; for the first time since the boys were born we spent Christmas Day together at the farm— by ourselves, no rellies. It was awesome! Not that we are against family Christmas gatherings however they are tiring and this Christmas we enjoyed our own company.Sometimes I think we need to take time out and enjoy our family without the fuss and fooster of a celebratory Christmas dinner complete with hot lunch and the inevitable hot tempers as well.Our Lord told us to “ Be quiet and know that I am lord” Amongst the media push to spend spend and spend again, our minds are full of thoughts of have we got the right gift for everyone and did I get enough food?We forget the real reason we celebrate Christmas anyway. We don’t have time to think of it. The presents to be got and wrapped, cooking to be done places to go, people to see— when all our bodies want is to STOP and chill out.
Try it one year, everything seems to come easier. I am not saying problems don’t happen— they do, but it seems that you are able to handle them better, without the frustration. I wish I had learnt this secret sooner!!
