But yesterday after my trip to the post office, I suddenly felt lighter and more relaxed. I realized how unconsciously stressed I was about all those goody boxes and getting them just right. Although I love making them, it felt pretty damn good to send them on their way and have them out of my hair.
How do you cope with Holiday stress, real or imagined? I am starting to think that so much of it is self-created- the expectations I am trying to live up to exist in my mind alone! So it makes sense that I can ease those expectations with my mind as well. That's the theory anyway.
Are the holidays difficult for you? How and why? Let's discuss!

Hi there! Oh my gosh, yes, but fun in their own way too! I've done a lot of preparation though, which has helped. I'm not nearly as experienced as having to ship my holiday gifts - I'll have to learn from you! But I've decided setting aside some time to do everything at once is the way to go. One big wrapping session and one long baking session this weekend should keep things moving. Also, enjoying some egg nog and Love Actually can only help keep the motivation, in my opinion :)
