“It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.” This comes from Charles Dickens book, ‘A Tale of Two Cities’, but it is also illustrative of the Christmas season.

Now at first glance, you may be wondering, ‘What the Dickens is he talking about?’

The fact of the matter is that Christmas can be the very best and greatest of times. However, Christmas can also be the worst of times. Christmas can be great in many ways:

• A time with family and friends
• Great food, drink, and parties
• Peace and love
