Christmas stress? (not an advertising thread)

Dear users, dear authors,
how much stress do you experience around Christmas, or how much do you put on yourselves?

I don’t feel any stress at all, and I don’t put any on myself either.

I’ve always found buying gifts to be a positive experience—I enjoy strolling through the stores and thinking about what might please each person.

Almost all of my homemade gifts are already finished, so that doesn’t cause me any stress either.

If I can’t find anything for someone, I’ll just get them a gift certificate for a meal or something similar. :)

You only get stressed if you let yourself get stressed.  

I don’t get very stressed out about Christmas.

I’ll do the Christmas cleaning after Christmas—there’s no point in doing it beforehand since everyone’s home.
I’ve baked half the cookies—and I keep baking more, so we’ll never actually finish anyway.
The homemade gifts are (almost) done, and for the rest, there’s online shopping (the best invention ever for people who hate shopping).
The house is decorated...

In case anyone’s wondering why I said “not much”... my kids still haven’t told me everything they want, so there’ll be a bit of stress in the last week when they say,
“Mom, now I know what I want—100% sure—can you still get me...?”


I wish you all a stress-free holiday season :-)

This year, I’m not feeling any Christmas stress at all. :-)

Things are looking good so far. We haven’t bought all the gifts yet, and I still have some knitting to finish, but we have ideas for everyone in the family. The house is decorated, and I’ve already baked some Christmas cookies. So everything’s still under control.

Have a wonderful Advent season together
