This isn’t the stereotypical a-little-too-happy-to-be-real family Christmas. But it’s likely one the Klassen family will remember for quite awhile!
Are you dreading Christmas this year? Popular indie musician Sufjan Stevens sings in his song “That Was the Worst Christmas Ever”:
Riding a sled down the hillside, hillside
Can you say what you want?
Silent night, Holy night
Silent night, Nothing feels right
What is on your mind this Christmas? Is the stress of the season, or the inevitable lull that follows, getting to you? There is likely no quick fix out there, but maybe there is a tougher but ultimately more fulfilling answer within, specifically within the reason we celebrate Christmas in the first place.

Those who have been married for awhile with family can most likely relate to this. It shows our hurtful human sides, no matter how well intentioned and Christian we may be. The idea, I think, is to see ourselves for how we sometimes really behave. It is hard to hold our tongues and not be hurtful, but it happens.
