It’s the MOST wonderful time of the year! Well, sort of. The holidays are filled with festivities, friends, gifts, traditions, sights, sounds, music, smells, and on and on it goes.  It really is a special time of the year. However, it also comes with its own set of challenges. For every person who is “merry and bright,” there is someone whose hurt, loss, or disappointment is only magnified during the holidays. For all the talk of the nativity and the “reason for the season,” there is also a long list of distractions and temptations that can keep us from really allowing this season to refocus our hearts and lives. Join us as we talk about how we can not just survive but thrive this holiday season.
