I'm starting to feel the Christmas crunch and it's stressing me out. I don't have my tree up, I don't have Christmas cards done (Jenzy, people are gonna get what they get...) yet and I have nothing wrapped.
Tomorrow I have a b-day party for my nephew and I still need to wrap his gift and then Sunday is Jack's party and I'm not even sure what I'm giving him for his birthday and what I'll give him for Christmas, so his birthday gifts aren't wrapped. I have to cook, clean and decorate my house for the party so I'm not sure how much "Christmas" stuff I'll even get to this weekend.
Bill works 6 days a week so that leaves me to everything. I know that it will all get done but I'm tired just thinking about it and it's starting to make me wish the holidays were behind me. :sigh
Anyone else feeling the pressure of the season?

Well. I just found out that Bill's not working tomorrow morning, he's hunting. :hair
Sharon, one thing at a time. Make a list. Get what you can get done, done. Try to get Austin to help you with wrapping. Try to wrap infront of the tv at night time. Just take a deep breath and remember.. Christmas is suppose to be fun.. try to not get to stressed over it my friend..:hug

My tree is up but not all my ornaments are on. Nothing else is done. Well, I addressed my christmas cards for my BG but that is it so far! :giggle Oh and we painted our ornaments so those will go out monday.
We still have a stack of Christmas cards to address and mail, but our tree is up and decorated at least :lol

He gets a 15% discount all the time, but all of the plush toys are on sale this weekend. He got 25% off of this gigantic DONKEY she was begging for. A DONKEY! What a strange child.

At least my shopping is just about done. I can't think of anything I really have left to buy. But I hate the wrapping. :sigh
And FF, I went to the dollar store and bought a TON of gift bags. Also, they had these tiny stockings and I'm going to put any gift cards I bought in those, I thought it was a cute idea.
:paranoia.. Sharn are you in my head, I did the same thing with the stockings and the gift cards...:paranoia
