Christmas Conspiracy - Turkey, Ham, or Jesus

Are you generally stressed out by the time Christmas arrives each year? If so, what could you change to make the season more enjoyable and less stressful? Are you willing to make that change? 



Does your family have a Christmas meal that is a tradition in your house, or does it change each year? Is the fixing of the meal a joy or a burden? If it is a joy, you should celebrate that. If it is a burden, what could you do to make it less burdensome? What needs to change to make it a joy? 



Is Jesus at the center of Christmas for you? Are you focused more on him, or on the list of things you need to accomplish? What changes could you make in order for Jesus to be the center of attention? Are you will to make those changes? What will it take?



Is Jesus at the center of Christmas in your home? Can you imagine how things around your house would be different if he were? What would it take for that to happen? Are you willing to personally do all that you can to make this happen? 



What can you do outside of your home to put Jesus more at the center of things? In your neighborhood, at your workplace, at places where you do things with other people? Without getting fired, or being looked at like you’re a religious freak or something, how can you help those around you be more aware of the Christ in Christmas? Give this some thought and prayer. We’re sure God will give you some good direction here.
