Don’t Let the News Cycle Ruin Your Christmas
It’s okay to unplug
I don’t know about you, but I am weary. I am weary of all the doom and gloom. When you turn on the television, everyone is angry. When you get on social media, everyone is fighting. The media and the politicians are all inciting panic. The country has been suspended in a constant state of fear and anxiety for years now. I’m tired of it. So, do you know what I am going to do? It’s going to be something absolutely revolutionary.
I’m going to enjoy my Christmas anyway.
Did you know that you don’t always have to be up on all the latest happenings? It’s okay to unplug sometimes. Don’t let the news cycle ruin your Christmas.
I know, Omicron is coming. The President is telling you that if you are not vaccinated you are going to endure a “winter of death.” The media is telling you that if you are vaccinated you should be in constant fear of the big, scary unvaccinated monsters lurking around in the shadows. No matter who you are, you should be afraid. Very afraid.
Do yourself a favor and shut the television off. If you have to, log off of social media until after the new year. All of the scary stuff will still be there waiting for you when you get back. It always is. Make this Christmas a time of joy, celebration, family, and reflection on the birth of Christ. And then maybe, just maybe, we can all leave fear in the dust with 2021.
