Thousands of people usually experience a heightened state of anxiety during the holidays, primarily because of all the shopping frenzy that goes on. Are you one of those people? If Yes: Do not fret: Relax. It is just another season. Like all other holiday seasons in the past, this too will come to pass. So why become anxious? Why lose sleep? Is it really that important? Why esteem one particular day or season over another? The Bible teaches us that each day is a precious gift from God, whether we perceive it as good or bad (Psalm 118:24). So live in the moment, daily, and do not lose sleep or become anxious. The holiday season is not about shopping, it is about celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, God Himself in the flesh (Luke 2: 6-15; John 1:1-3). So let us celebrate this season with much thanksgiving and joy, because of the best gift that God has given us: Christ Jesus.
