What Color Is Your Christmas Tree?

Let's just say this is how I wish I handled Christmas. The problem is, I get way too stressed over meeting others' expectations and schedules.

 



You Should Have a Blue Christmas Tree
For you, the holidays represent a time of calm, understanding, and peace.
You avoid family fights, and you don't get too stressed out - even when things are crazy!

You like to make Christmas about making everyone's life a little bit better.
You don't get caught up in greed or commercialism. You're too sincere for that.

Your blue tree would look great with: Lots of silver tinsel

You should spend Christmas Eve watching: It's a Wonderful Life

What you should bake for Santa: Chocolate chip cookies

There's still time to enter my December contest. Details here.

Hi Myra,

I'm thinking a white Christmas tree ... reflecting the calm and peace of a shimmering blanket of snow on the roof of a stable in starlight. NO color ... like my focus needs to be right now. On Him, not the hollyberry red of passion or wine ... nor the fragance of green with fir boughs or money. Just white ... simple, clean and holy. Oh, God, keep my focus on You!

I did this test. I'm a blue Christmas tree, but I'm not all that calm. I DO want everyone to be happy and everything to be picture book perfect--it never is, but I still hope . . .

Star Dater: Tracey Bateman! Join me in welcoming inspirational romance author Tracey Bateman as she shares her true-love story, "You Had me at OUCH." ------------------------------- Okay, here’s the thing. I don’t support violence. I think a woman should conduct herself in a proper manner at all times—“proper” being relative, of course. Men and women should keep their backhanded whacks to themselves. And while I’m on the subject, let me just say that it would be a lot easier for a woman to stick to this lesson in decorum if men should just keep their mouths shut when it’s obvious said woman is in distress. But I digress. Love begins in many different ways. You have your “saw each other across a crowded room” love story. Then there’s the “Blind date” scenario which I believe should probably be included in the “internet dating” category just to be concise. There’s always the “met at AA” couple who are on the wagon and loving it. Then there’s the more volatile type. The type of couple where, it was annoyance at first sight. And not in a sexy, you annoy me let’s make out kind of way either. I mean the kind of annoyance where you just hope the other person walks off a cliff and breaks a bone. (At this point let me remind you that I’m not normally a proponent of violence. But there is a message here). That’s how my relationship with Rusty began. I was 18 and working as a babysitter in a health...

Merry Christmas, One and All! Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and this will be my last post until after Christmas. In the meantime, here’s another thought from 365 Best-Kept Marriage Secrets (one of the giveaways in my December contest). Set aside the things that don’t have to be done today, and spend some quality one-on-one time with your significant other. Perfect advice for these last hectic days of Christmas shopping, cooking, church events, travel plans, and general preparations. Don’t lose touch with the one you love. Don’t lose touch with the One who brought the two of you together. Many years ago, while I was fighting ulcers during a particularly stressful time in my life, these words of wisdom were given to me: Rule #1: Don’t sweat the small stuff. Rule #2: It’s all small stuff. I wish I were consistently better at taking that advice. It might have saved me years and years of unnecessary stress and the resulting health issues. This week, if nothing else, let’s remember one thing, the only “big thing” worth dwelling on: Jesus Christ was born for us. Born to save us from our sins. Born to transform our lives. Born to show us the way to heaven so we can live with Him forever. Joy to the world!
