You don't have to buy all of those presents, decorate the tree or eat so much food you feel as if you will burst! And neither do you have to get stressed along with the rest. Christmas, after all, is meant to be a time of joy, peace and thanksgiving; a holiday is meant to be a time to slow down and rest, not to rush around like a headless chicken. Perhaps to step back and see the Christmas holidays for what they are really meant to be is a good way in which to step back from the stress of our commercial world. Just seeing it from a different perspective will change the way in which you feel about Christmas. You are so right in saying that you don’t have to go along with the crowd.
