Everywhere I look I see articles, blogs and posts about how to have a stress-free holidays, and I have to say that the pressure is starting to get to me.
I think it's pretty good advice, and I know everyone is doing their best to be helpful, but having people constantly tell me not to be stressed is a little unnerving. It makes me wonder if I'm missing something. There's probably something I should be doing that I have not done, and I'm going to realize it at the last minute and completely RUIN everyone's holiday. Or I'm not going to realize it at all, and everyone will talk about it for years to come. So, it's a little....you know.....(stressful)
Some of us know this about ourselves: if we're not under pressure, we lie down. We play Christmas music on the radio and dance around the house right past the pilgrims and pumpkins that have not yet been put away. We may watch Lifetime TV Christmas movies while the store bought cookie dough expires in the refrigerator. Stress may be the only thing between us and total inaction.
And besides, what will we talk to people about if we aren't talking about how much we have to do and how stressed we are about it all?

So, I am going to say that if it helps you feel better and get a few things done, go ahead and stress. Like everything else, it will eventually pass! Happy Holidays! Or, if you are one of those people who stresses about the greetings you get at this time of year: Merry Christmas!
