Other than not doing Christmas at all (See Grinch), we have two basic polarities for Christmas: “Busy” with emphasis on the activities and the “stuff”; and the “Internal” with emphasis on what is going on inside of us. Most of us are pretty good at balancing those, but sometimes the internal part (Christmas of the Heart) can get lost or pushed to the side.
