If you’re struggling with stress and anxiety as we get closer and closer to Christmas, you’re not alone. There are stressors that reemerge for each of us this time of year, from family struggles, to holiday preparations, to aches connected to the past or uncertain future, but we don’t have to just push them aside and put on a happy face.
We can bring it all to Christ.
Here are some ways to actually find joy this Christmas:
Make time for prayer
- Go to confession before Christmas
- Go to Adoration
- Do an Advent reflection. Here’s an Advent series from Fr. Mark Toups.
