That time of year...

It's that time of year again...are we preparing for festivities, parties, gift-buying, wrapping, and giving, sending out cards, going to parties, or preparing for our Savior to reside in our hearts?  How do you best spend this time?  What feels the best for you?  It is often said it is a time to "WAKE-UP!" and get ready, feel alive, and put into action the feeling of peace, joy, love, and giving!  How can we do less, to feel more?  Does this make sense?  Do less to feel more? When we are so busy and consumed with all the holday happenings, we tend to feel stressed, tired, crabby, and maybe even numb.  Doing less and saying no to all the hustle and bustle can actually allow us to feel more, or at least feel what we want to feel-joyful, charitable, kinder, and calmer.  How do you choose to feel this holiday season?
