How do we preserve our peace and emotional health this holiday season, while also keeping our hearts centered on Christ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From my earliest memories, I have loved all things holiday: the gathering together of family and friends, the food shared around the table, the decorations, the smell of apple crisp baking in the oven and cider simmering, familiar traditions, and all the moments in between. And we mustn\u2019t forget the beloved classics <em><strong>A Charlie Brown Christmas<\/strong><\/em> and my personal favorite, <em><strong>It\u2019s a Wonderful Life.<\/strong><\/em><br><br>It is not just one thing; rather, it is the culmination of many little and big things that have made the holidays so memorable.<br><br>One particularly special tradition in our household is hosting Thanksgiving and inviting each of our families to join. Over the years, we have had fun making this day our own, rarely making turkey and opting for roast beef instead. (I know; crazy, right?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But as much as I love this time of year, I am not naive about the tension that exists between my expectations of what the holidays should look like and what they oftentimes end up becoming. (Does anyone else\u2019s family end up sharing a stomach bug right as the holiday season is in full swing?) I also can\u2019t help but notice how the days between Thanksgiving and Christmas often become a blur as we move from one activity to the next. I remember one specific Christmas evening several years ago telling my husband as we fell into bed, \u201cI am so glad Christmas is over.\u201d Yikes! I don\u2019t think this was the \u201cgood news of great joy\u201d the angel of the Lord had in mind when he revealed the Messiah had been born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-text-align-left alignright\"><blockquote><p><strong><em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#488bb1\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Peace of heart and mind is available, but we must contend for it.<\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sadly, the joy and wonder of the season can quickly get lost as we navigate the challenges the holidays can bring: things like overfilled schedules, additional calendar commitments, complex family dynamics, anxiety, heightened expectations (by others and ourselves), grief and loss, and feelings of profound loneliness, just to name a few. These challenges, compounded with juggling the demands of everyday life, can quickly steal our peace and emotional health if we are not careful.<br><br>It\u2019s interesting that in Luke 2:13-14, the announcement of the Savior\u2019s birth to the shepherds was also attached to a pronouncement of peace:<br><br>Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others\u2014the armies of heaven\u2014praising God and saying,<br><strong><em>\u201cGlory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased\u201d <\/em><\/strong>(NLT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peace of heart and mind is available, but we must contend for it. Though not an exhaustive list, here are a few practical things we can do to protect our peace this holiday season:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list is-style-none\">\n<li class=\"has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-1\" style=\"color:#1d6691;background-color:#dbeefa;font-size:24px\"><strong>1. Focus on those things that matter most.<\/strong>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#dbeefa;font-size:18px\">We can be so easily swept up in the hustle and bustle of the holidays that we lose sight of what this season represents. The gatherings, meals, festivities, gift-giving, and decorations are merely delightful \u201cextras.\u201d What matters most are the people in our lives and the moments we will share together. Lord, help us not to miss those who are right in front of us. These are the gifts that will truly remain.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-2\" style=\"color:#1d6691;background-color:#dbeefa;font-size:24px\"><strong>2. Keep expectations realistic.<\/strong> \n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#dbeefa;font-size:18px\">Lay aside any need to create the \u201cperfect\u201d holiday or to please everyone. I need to remind myself of this often, as my perfectionist and people-pleasing tendencies can become magnified over the holidays if I am not mindful. (This is what leads to my making five desserts when two are completely sufficient\u2014haha!) Be okay with keeping things simple this year. A kind \u201cno\u201d might be in order. What is realistic for you and your family? If it\u2019s not doable (due to practical, financial, or time constraints), then let it go. It really will be okay!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-3\" style=\"color:#1d6691;background-color:#dbeefa;font-size:24px\"><strong>3. Commit to being fully present.<\/strong> \n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#dbeefa;font-size:18px\">It\u2019s hard to be fully present when our pace outmatches our capacity. What\u2019s one thing you can do each day to allow yourself time to pause, breathe, and recenter your heart around Christ? For me, I need time each day for silence and solitude. This helps me set aside the distractions of the day and reorients my heart back to the heart of the Father.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-4\" style=\"color:#1d6691;background-color:#dbeefa;font-size:24px\"><strong>4. Give yourself permission to grieve.<\/strong> \n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#dbeefa;font-size:18px\">Grief and joy can coexist. Allow yourself to feel both. If the holidays stir up feelings of sadness or loss, make space to process these emotions. It\u2019s okay to acknowledge the holidays might feel different or hard this year. Find a trusted friend you can talk to.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-5\" style=\"color:#1d6691;background-color:#dbeefa;font-size:24px\"><strong>5. Determine to love well.<\/strong> \n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#dbeefa;font-size:18px\">The holidays can bring out the best\u2014and, sadly, the worst\u2014in people, as emotions tend to run high. Regardless of how those around us are behaving, we can only control our own actions and attitudes. Let\u2019s keep love as our highest aim. Will our lives reflect the true spirit of the season\u2014joy, goodwill, generosity, kindness, patience, and the heart of Christ?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">May you have a blessed and peaceful holiday season, making memories and hopefully enjoying lots of apple crisp (topped with ice cream, of course).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-helvetica-font-family has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:28px;font-family:Helvetica\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top\" style=\"grid-template-columns:40% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"772\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Jessica-Sanford-bio-photo-scaled-e1792025967647-772x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24746 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Jessica-Sanford-bio-photo-scaled-e1792025967647-772x1024.jpeg 772w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Jessica-Sanford-bio-photo-scaled-e1792025967647-226x300.jpeg 226w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Jessica-Sanford-bio-photo-scaled-e1792025967647-768x1019.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Jessica-Sanford-bio-photo-scaled-e1792025967647-1158x1536.jpeg 1158w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Jessica-Sanford-bio-photo-scaled-e1792025967647-1544x2048.jpeg 1544w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Jessica-Sanford-bio-photo-scaled-e1792025967647.jpeg 1930w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 772px) 100vw, 772px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-helvetica-font-family has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px;font-family:Helvetica\"><strong>Jessica Sanford<\/strong> currently serves as discipleship leader at <em><strong>Fort DSM Open Bible Church<\/strong><\/em> in Des Moines, Iowa.
