Happy Christmas!

Christmas time is always stressful--exams, shopping, trying to shave off those Thanksgiving calories still and resisting the call of pumpkin pie and eggnog {both of which are my greatest weaknesses}. And in times of severe stress, self-image woes will rear their ugly heads. Rather than exert your holiday efforts in bettering yourself, however, spend some time in reflection about the reason for the season. "For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6-7). So make some time between nose-to-the-grinder studying to take a break, drink some cocoa, enjoy your Christmas time--after all, it'll only come once a year. Happy Christmas, friends!
