We all have an image of what Christmas should be. What Christmas is supposed to be. What we want Christmas to be. Perhaps that image is based on Christmas movies or nostalgic magazine covers. Maybe it’s based on what we remember from childhood. Maybe it’s based on what we wish we remembered as a child. Regardless of the image we have in our head, Christmas often has a difficult time living up to expectations. Instead of merry and bright, Christmas can feel confusing and blurry. Instead of a perfect picture, Christmas can feel shaken. But just maybe, shaken can be beautiful too.
