"There are ways that we can create space for a contemplative Christmas.  Even in a hurried holiday season, we can be attentive to our soul.  When you think about the coming of Advent and Christmas, how do you prepare the space?  We might first think about the garland and ornaments, but there is also the space of your inner life.  Are there rituals that you engage in because they feel meaningful and authentic?  Are there traditions that you perpetuate out of obligation or the desire to meet expectations"
