Check in if you're freaking about holiday stuff, or not.
Me: Nope. Didn't even surface until Tuesday, not hosting Xmas this year, not bothering with holiday cards this year, thus have not a care in the world.
You?

No cards. Gifts all purchased. Christmas tree up, but not decorated (was supposed to last night, but got home too late). No worries here, either.

Nope. I only need to buy 3 gifts and I never start early. No reason for stress here.

Tree hunting tomorrow.
Presents of the kids are bought, and wrapped.
Wife does not want anything so that is not a problem. Please believe me I have tried - she wants nothing. All she gets is a card and some flowers.

Rex and I don't always buy each other presents for this season. We're going on vacation, that's more than enough.

The Mrs's presents are bought and wrapped. She is doing the shopping for the kids. I only have to get stocking stuffers. We haven't gotten a tree yet. Most likely that will be tomorrow night

I was at first until Kramer came through with some $, so I got the kids' presents all bought and all but 2 wrapped (for Lib). No running around to do for the holiday since that's all done (celebrated early this year due to my aunt's hectic schedule).
Tomorrow is the kids' last day of school for 2004, so looking forward to much chilling and good times watching christmas shows and etc. with them. I'm very excited about Christmas. They're getting the things they want and that makes me very happy.

This time of year isn't any different.

Wasn't until I found out another eight hours of OT Saturday. So now I have to balance how much of that (we are talking big bucks here) with getting my five mile run in and shopping for presents.
Sunday, substitute church in the morning (sort of replacing the OT), and I have the same problem.

Sort of. With Hayden just having his birthday I had lots to do for that. I still haven't done Christmas cards and hope to this weekend.
I was feeling a bit overwhelmed last night and had a big cry session while I was cleaning the kitchen. But that's probably pregnancy hormone related more than Holiday stress related.

As long as the conga-line works, I'll have plenty of i-pods for gift giving.
