Christmas is coming and many of us are busy preparing for it by shopping for those special gifts, baking holiday favorites, making travel plans, and preparing your home for visitors throughout the holiday season. Often, the holiday season can be filled with pressure, family tension and a lack of real joy. To help prevent this from occurring, take time and think about how you would like your Christmas to be. What is the meaning of Christmas to you? What are the things that are important to you and how can you plan for those things to happen? Think about the gifts that money cannot buy such as memories created with loved ones and friends, laughter, and love shared between you and others. Look around at the blessings and the good things you have and take time to be thankful. A priceless and precious gift to give is to take time to tell those close to you that you love them and how they make a difference in your life.

Season's Greetings from the board and staff of the Moose Jaw Christian Counselling Centre. We wish for you a Christmas filled with the joy and wonder of the Gift that was given to us by God, so many years ago!
