I’m totally stressing at this point!! I did all of that cookie baking and decorating to donate………I’ve haven’t baked a single cookie for my family yet – haven’t done ANY wrapping, I still need to shop a little……..yikes!!

Hope you’ll join in tomorrow, I’m hosting Christmas Traditions and Memories for the Holly Bloggy Christmas Bash!!

Last week I was feeling a bit overwhelmed but this week has been productive and I’ve been getting a handle on things. My son was home sick at the beginning of the week which kept me in and I used the time to start my wrapping and really figure out what still needed to be done.

I'm starting to panic too. I just got a bunch of primary stuff to do too. Eck.......so much to do. So little time. .-= angie´s last blog ..Twisted Silver Glacier Earrings =-.

I remind myself that Christmas Eve is the start (after we go to Mass) of our Christmas season (we are Catholic) and we've still got time before everything HAS to be done. Our tree goes up this weekend, we'll decorate slowly over the week, the cookies start tomorrow, cards this week (by Monday the latest), and the handmade ornaments next week. Everything gets done in its time & what doesn't get done, really no one is going to remember or care about. What matters is not the things but the love we share in our celebration. .-= beth aka confusedhomemaker´s last blog ..Brussel Sprouts with Maple Syrup and Bacon =-.

Is that your home!? WOW – so beautiful. I thought at first that it was a Christmas store, or something. That is amazing.

I love that picture!! Beautiful! One of the things that is starting to hold my sanity is jogging. I’m not a jogger by nature, in fact I’m still trying to like it. However, I feel more level-headed after I’m done. And I’m not jogging just to jog, I am training for a half-marathon, so I do have a goal I’m working towards! (I don’t think I could run just to run!)

shopping early helps too!! And preferably for me, online shopping! ;-)

200 Christmas cards??? ARE YOU INSANE??? I thought my 45 was over the top! I get through it by trying (ooooh, tryyyying) to get my shopping done early. Then, I don't bake at all, but I gladly accept donations (ok, purchases) from the church cookie sale. It saves me time, and I still get to snack! ~Elizabeth .-= Elizabeth´s last blog ..Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? (I see a giveaway!) =-.

I totally blew off Christmas this year by moving the week before. I have the perfect excuse for not sending Christmas cards, having poor decorations, etc. But I did make the Christmas fudge and am using it to numb my brain from the shock of not doing all of the things I'm supposed to be doing. .-= Joey´s last blog ..We're cookin' (with gas) now! =-.

I don’t even have all the gifts bought yet. I’m in trouble, aren’t I? P.S. I cope with chocolate… ;-P
