holiday fun / holiday stress
I always swear I won't get stressed out by the holidays . . . and then I always do. It's a combination of things, really. The semester coming to an end, planning gifts and activities for kids, trying to tidy up the house for guests, and just generally wanting to accomplish more than I can. Tonight I'm up trying to finish (or at least make considerable progress) on a handmade gift for a family member. A scarf. And maybe, if I'm ambitious and productive, a hat to go with it.
So this is a a sort of public ("public"--though I can't imagine anyone actually visits this page; I'm so new to everything on lj) declaration, a reminder to myself that I will not get so stressed out. I will take deep breaths and the occasional nap and I will do what I can do and let go of what I can't AND I WILL ENJOY this holiday season.
So it was written, so shall it be done. I hope. :)
BC's looking pretty loose. Maybe I'll take him as my model . . .
