What is broken in you that you long to have fixed? Here we are, on the backside of the Christmas holiday. For most of us, the family get-togethers have happened or are still in the process of happening. The meals have been had. The gifts have been given and received. The decorations are still up but will soon be taken down and put away as we prepare for the long cold winter ahead of us.

The Christmas season is a season that is typically full of joy and excitement. From an early age we are trained to look forward to Christmas with all of its cultural trappings. Family get togethers, big extravagant meals, the excitement of gift giving and receiving, holiday movies on the Hallmark channel, the beauty of Christmas lights, Christmas concerts, parades, company Christmas parties; this time of year, really is just like one gigantic nationwide festival.

The Christmas season is upon us. It is one of the most beautiful and joy-filled times of the year with all of the snow, Christmas lights, family get togethers, food and gift giving. But this year is different.
