Two of the founding fathers of the study of effects of stress (Holmes & Rahe) came up with an index of the top 43 most stressful life events.  It includes everything from going through a divorce to having a baby to buying a new house to changing jobs.  And guess what else makes the list of most stressful life-change events?  CHRISTMAS.  Christmas is the only holiday that makes the list; no other does.

Christmas is a chaotic time of year, and God wants to help us deal with the chaos.    He also wants us to embrace the chaos that comes with the territory of being a Christ-follower.
