As December winds down, you can hear it all across the fruited plain. A big sigh of relief. December is almost over.
What is supposed to be the month when we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ has become a month filled with stress and an endless stream of parties, programs and family gatherings.
It's nice to get together with friends and family, but it would seem that the stress to buy gifts, to meet schedules and beat the deadlines in December is bringing us to the breaking point. Someday, we'll tip that scale, and all our over-scheduling for the holidays will come crashing down.
Here's a suggestion: make plans today to build some margin into your schedule next December. You have eleven months to prepare your "can't make that event" speech.
