How to Let Go of Holiday Stress and Rediscover Christmas Joy

Are you aware that up to 89% of people experience holiday stress? Are you one of them?

When the angels appeared to the shepherds on that first Christmas morning, they said, “I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.” (Luke 2:10) That moment was never meant to bring pressure—it was meant to bring peace.

Over time, the joy and stillness of the season have been replaced with anxiety, endless to-do lists, and comparison. But here’s the truth: whatever God promises lasts for eternity. He hasn’t moved away from us—we’ve simply become distracted and drifted from Him.

The first step to letting go of stress is to remember what Christmas is truly about. When you focus on the reason for the season, calm has a way of finding you again.

And for everything else—like organization, self-care, and shopping—I created a special space to help: the Christmas Hub. It’s your one-stop destination for peace, planning, and purposeful celebration.

🎁 What You’ll Find Inside the Christmas Hub
