Happy November. I am setting the bar high this year for no one but myself. And I feel like this

is going to be a podcast experiment. I'll let you know how it goes. But today I am sharing with you

my extreme Christmas goals for this year. You're listening to Work and Play with Nancy Ray, episode 255.

Much of our lives can be divided into two categories, work and play.

Simply put, that's where our life and our legacy take place.

This is a podcast all about learning to work and play well,

which leads to a healthy soul and a fulfilling life.

Listen in.

When I think about the name of this podcast, work and play, I realize, I mean, this touches

every area of our life, right?

There is work and then there's play.

And the time of year that we are approaching right now, as it's November, is a time of a lot of work.

There's a lot of heavy lifting, a lot of schedules and events, and there's just a lot of work that goes into preparing for Thanksgiving

and Christmas. And this year, I have a new tactic. I don't know if it's going to go well. I don't

know if I'm going to come back and say, I'm never doing that again. But I'm going to try something because I feel

like my plate with four kits is very full. And I have it in my mind that I really want to be present

and focused on the Lord and giving the month of December. And the reality usually is that I am a little stressed out and

it's a little much. And there's a lot of Christmas programs, a lot of things to do. And even though

I try my very best to be organized and get things done ahead of time, I don't always do the

best job at that because there's things that just

get added to our plates at the last minute.

So this year, I've decided to set some extreme Christmas goals for myself.
