I've got to get off here, several days are piling up all at once. DD decided at the last minute to participate in a group at our church called Gloves Of Glory--where the young people dress totally in black other than white gloves and perform in front of black lights. With no lights in the church and the windows covered it's a pretty awesome sight. They sign (elaborate and flowing sign language) to music and it looks like a hand ballet. Plus I have three couch throws to finish (one by Monday), a costume to make for Sunday evening, cookies to bake for Sunday evening and Monday morning, a black outfit for DD's debut performance on Wednesday evening, DD has parties Sat. and Tues., a live nativity to go to tonight then shopping, stuffing 16 goodie bags for school on Tuesday and I keep thinking I've forgotten something....... After next Wednesday evening it should all level out so that I can make cheeseballs for all the neighbors for Christmas. Is anyone else feeling the pressure???

Sounds like you are going full steam ahead!!! Take time to breathe and enjoy the season!! :D

The last couple years like yours made me realize that I was missing out on the meaning of the season and becoming the biggest GRINGE known to man so we scaled back tremendously and I feel so much better and everyone around me really appreciates it! I'd love to be superwoman but it's just not happening.

Wow, I am exhausted just reading this :shock: Please take a few minutes to just relax and enjoy the reason for the season. :thumbup:

Nope not me the 25th is just another day of the month of december. treat is like just any other day and you wont feel so stressed. if you dont get it done, dont worry there is always next year.

Breath !!! thats what you forgot :)

I make the list check it twice, (does that sound like someone we've heard of???)
That reminds me I need to get at it :) !!
