Holiday Track

"Staying on the track to Christmas"

• The trick is this. We have to believe the 25th is coming. It is. It comes every year when His birthday rolls around again. We give Him gifts by exchanging gifts. We have a party with decorations and lots of good food, family and friends. But there is a lot to do to get from here to there, that biggest day of the year.
  
• The trick is this. It is helpful to understand what the holidays are all about. For most the day is religious. For many it is celebratory. For others it is obligation and family pain replayed. Winter solstice, year's closing, paybac,. new beginnings. Figure it out yourself.
  
• The trick is this. Keep doing things on your list, cross them off, and soon the list is done. Then have fun. Staying on track will pay off in lots of sweet holiday memories and a wonderful feeling of accomplishment when all goes well.
