Okay, who's feeling jolly, and who isn't?

I thought it would be great to have a thread during this especially stressful, yet jolly, season where anyone could come to vent or just chat.

I'm feeling a bit stressed out today. I have a short list of gifts that I have decided on, and a long list of gifts that I still need to discover. My decorations are all still in the attic, my cookies need baked, and I need to think about holiday cards. My get up and go seems to have got up and went when it comes to Christmas this year.

Typically, I'm glowing by this time. Have most of my shopping done, set my Christmas music on and go about baking and decorating. The thought of even listening to Christmas music is making me fidgety.

I'm hoping for a better outlook tomorrow.

Okay, I'll add that in some countries, it's no longer politically correct to say Ho, Ho, Ho. Hmmmm, puzzling, but if I've offended anyone, Ha, Ha, Ha!

I'm in much the same boat as you, Misty. Normally by this time I've got all (or at least most) of my Christmas shopping done, and I've barely even started. The tree and all the decorations are still in a box up in the attic, there are cards that need to be done (and done soon, since many of them go overseas).

On top of that, I've got a bunch of dental and medical appointments scheduled for this month, for both me and for family members, the children have extra things at school that we either need to attend (for DD) or that they need ferrying to and from (for DS), and work is a zoo.


Bah, humbug!


(Okay, not really... I'm hoping for a better outlook tomorrow too.)

LOL, I don't know, but I'm hoping this thread will serve as a good group therapy session in the meantime.
