Holiday Recovery

There's something about the flow of the holiday season that leads me to be far less productive during this time of year. I really want to be accomplishing things, but the tryptophan from the turkey seems to last until about the third week of the new year.

If the same is true for the members in our churches, should we back off of the preaching during December? Should we give people space to slack off for a month or so? Or should we help to re-focus and re-frame this time of year as not about us and what we want?

I'm not sure, what do you think?
