If you have ever worked retail or have shopped during the holidays you can understand the home stretch in the two days before Christmas.  Are you the one that shops for everyone or are you the one trying to make sure everyone on your list has been taken care of? Oh the anxiety of it all.

So today we are creating more anxiety in ourselves because we hold expectations for how Christmas should be. We want those perfect gifts and forget the most important part of Christmas... Spending time with the family. 

If today you are struggling to make sure all the presents are purchased and wrapped- remember that it is not the value of the present but the value of the presence you bring to your loved ones.  Remember that you are the reason for celebrating along with each member of your family.
