Or so people say it is…
Me? It’s still up for a vote. I find it to be the most stressful, hectic, crazy time of the year.
This year, we’re going to my parent’s house for Christmas, so I needed to be really prepared ahead of time. I ordered and had all the gifts shipped there in October. Then, when I went one weekend in November I wrapped and hid them all. Every. Single. One.
But, that was just the Man in Red’s gifts. I still had to shop for grandparents, aunts, and uncles.
I had to order holiday cards to send in the mail. Then, I had to make sure that I had all the up-to-date addresses for our friends and family. This I find to be the MOST DAUNTING task of all. Anyone else?
Remember, I also run a Beautycounter Business as well as a Web Design Business. Gifts and Cards for clients and team members also have to get done. Oh yeah, and for both businesses, it’s the BUSIEST time of year.
So yeah, the most wonderful time of year? I’m going to say not so much.
My most wonderful time of year? The day it hits 80 for the first time in May or June and you get to go sit on the beach, and you’re reminded you have the next 3 months to enjoy beautiful weather. That. That is the most wonderful time of the year. Right now, I’m going with the most stressful, hectic crazy time of year.
So good luck to each and every one of you that are in the midst of it like me. You may have some of it done, all of it done, or none of it done. But hey, you’ll get it done. I’ve got faith in you.
And, when you’re doing it, try not to get to stressed. For kids, this is the most wonderful time of the year, you get presents for no reason! So, enjoy their faces when they open their gifts and relish in the magic of the season. When you see the joy on their faces, it gives you a reason to believe.
Happy Holidays / Merry Christmas
