Oh, and so many gifts still to wrap! Yikes! I love to wrap my gifts, but I may be picking up a few gift bags.
One of the things I'm supposedly "letting go" is more Christmas candy/treats, but I really want to work that in!
I too am feeling stressed. Just remember this, if you don't get it all done, no one will even notice. Ever since my shingles episode a few years ago at Easter, I remember that my doc told me they are brought on by stress, and once you have them you can get a repeat. So I try to just take things as they come. I always have too much food anyway. And gift bags are wonderful. I save mine from year to year and only had to buy a couple large ones for the girls quilts. Much less mess to clean up after, and saves the landfills some trash. My DDIL brings cookies and I MAY make a few but won't worry if I can't get it done. Today is cleaning day, I guess.
