our trip is just 16 days away when actually christmas eve doesn't count and neither does christmas we fly out at 3pm. oh my girls teenagers someone tell me i will miss them i know i will when they go, all of them are saying mom we can't pack yet we'll pack right before we go we still wear stuff to school, we might get something for xmas we want to bring no sense packing now, me of course i am not packed either, I am still trying to get christmas presents for other side of the family who aren't ocming with us, and do christmas cookies, actually can't start them till monday, tommorrow i will go and get the supplies. Thier all sayingmaybe we souldn't have gone for christmas we aren't getting many present oh my god nothing is ever enough. and of cours DH is getting grouchy always is around holidays. i'm sure some of you are going through the same stuff. i have been lookingforward to this for so long now i am wondering what i did to myself. With my 3rd incollege i figure this will be the last all of us going trip actually my second already isn't going she hates family vacations. actually sometimes i think she hates her family all toghther except when she needs something i NEVER do anything good enough for her.my motto has always been LEMONADE if life gives you lemons make lemonade, boy girls i am going to need alot of sugar this trip LOL thanks for letting me vent i guess i will pack next week too, maybe i can get all the christmas stuff done then take out my florida dresses, you knowthe ones pople laugh at you if you wear them up north. littlebitt

Lots of sugar coming your way!!

Everyone gets a little stressed around the holidays and the kids (even your big way-too-cool teens)are excited so it all adds up.

I always have a packing list too - just writing it makes me feel better!

Deep breaths and chant your mantra "we're going to Disney, we're going to Disney......"

Oh, littlebitt - tis the season for STRESS! LOL It's terrible b/c it shouldn't be that way at all, right? *sigh* The girls have a great idea with the list - I live on lists. I just feel better writing it all down too and it helps you remember all the little things you might otherwise forget.

Sending some holiday peace and joy your way!! It is a stressful time of year, but you - and the kids! - will have a great time when you get there. I'm sure they will get their packing done in time...to them it probably seems like months away!!!

I haven't been to WDW during Christmas time, but I hear it is even more magical than usual, so take a deep breath and know that it will all be worth it. Even if your kids don't appreciate it now they will some day....kids (all ages) have memories like wine....they need to sit and age a bit to be fully appreciated!!

Take care, relax & deck the halls with boughs of holly...fa la la la la...:-)!!

Getting ready for a trip is always so stressful.
