Stress-ember

You may call it "December" in your world, but I call it Stressember in mine. Why? Oh no particular reason, just a million little ones like:

Two birthdays with two birthday parties

A trip away for work

Yearly Doctor visits

Hubby's holiday party

Tree choosing and decorating

Present wrapping

Gifts for teachers, mailman, paperboy and hair/nail stylists

Cookie baking

Christmas dinner planning

Advent box filling for 25 days

Move a certain elf around the house every night

Christmas card sending

Umpteen fundraisers and charity requests

School picture retakes

Half-day here, no buses there

No-food-allowed gifts for friends in school(s)

Try to remember what night the Christmas specials are on TV

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm nauseous from thinking about it all and need to go rest. But really, isn't it the most wonderful time of the year????
