Making Christmas Simpler


Hmmmm.... Christmas ... a simple story... a simple reality.. about Jesus coming to earth for us... but it often gets filled with stress and becomes less than simple, eh? Just today I was talking with someone about Christmas.

What do you do to keep it simple and focused?

We are certainly working on that one. Don't have it all mastered yet! But a couple of years ago a friend of mine gave me the Jesse Tree book and some ornaments. There are 25 ornaments and with each one a story from the bible to focus on Jesus coming and tracing his roots. It has given us a cool countdown with focus.

Do you have any ideas for simplifying Christmas?
The following blog has information on the Jesse tree and it also has 12 weeks to a more peaceful Christmas with tips on budgeting, giving back to the community, and more to help keep it simple! Check it out!
