The Christmas Special.

It’s Christmas time!

In this very short episode of MercyCast, I want to discuss holiday traditions. I explore a few Christmas traditions from around the world (some you have heard of and some you haven't). Every tradition exists in some way to bring people together and refocus them on what truly matters. With this in mind, what would happen if we decided to create new traditions that foster healing and community, which remind each of us that we are loved and seen, especially during difficult times?

Highlights and takeaways:

• The holidays can be a challenging time for many.
• It's important to acknowledge our struggles during the festive season.
• Traditions can help us refocus on what truly matters.
• Exploring global Christmas traditions can enrich our understanding.
• Creating new traditions can foster healing and connection.
• Community and connection are vital during difficult times.
• Serving others can be a healing experience for ourselves.
• Letting go of the pressure to create the perfect holiday is okay.
• Reflecting on gratitude can enhance our holiday experience.
• We are all on this journey together, and support is essential.

Thanks for listening. We want to hear from you!
