Summary
It’s all well and good to give ideas for fun holiday activities and ways to bring the Christmas "magic."
Family traditions are wonderful, and I will always advocate for their importance.
But what about those for whom Christmas is a genuine struggle? What about the years when you’re just not "feeling it."
There is hope in Christ for those who find themselves in this place.
In fact, it is the whole hope of Christmas. Be encouraged, friends, that, even when you feel alone, the Savior, who came as a baby to grow up to manhood and sacrifice Himself for the sins of the world is by your side.
