Does December overwhelm you? Does it get more chaotic than quiet, leaving you exhausted and desperate for December 26th? It’s barely mid-November, and twinkle lights and brown paper packages tied up with string are bursting at the seams of every store entrance and online business. It’s unavoidable. December’s glitter is upon us.

In this episode of 'Living the Grace Life,' host Jennifer Sakata discusses the overwhelming nature of December and encourages listeners to prepare for a different, quieter Christmas.
