We're all messy

Maybe you tried hard to prepare for this day, to give your family/guests the best Christmas you could. Well, good for you! You tried to remember all the details, plan good food and pick good presents. Me too. You wanted to create something beautiful.

Some say you're just trying to impress people with your curated social media image. But not me. Your good intentions are just that, they're good. On the other hand (as you already know), you have weaknesses and you're not perfect. Your holiday will not be perfect.

Fallen, broken people are the reason God put on a human body and came to live with us. Jesus Christ is the way we can become children of God-- if we want that. 

Have reasonable expectations for your Christmas Day. You're not perfect. God knows you very well. Come to him just as you are, not as you wish you were.
