Do you ever feel like the holiday season is a month long game of whack-a-mole? This week has been horrible. I am at work by 6:00 am, leave late in the afternoon to rush off to AT LEAST two more functions. I'm exhausted and it's only December 3rd. I'm constantly rushing around, putting out the next fire, buying one more charity gift, fixing one more appetizer, buying Christmas gifts for family and politely declining an additional cookie. All these moles keep popping up and it takes every bit of my energy to keep hitting them with that weird mallet.
Christmas is by far, my favorite holiday. When did it become so stressful? We start the year at level one of the game and by December it's a marathon of pounding out activities and festivities, but how festive can you be when really you are just racing to the finish line for the year? No wonder we find ourselves yearning for a new year, a new start and a more relaxed life.
Happy Holiday festivities to each of you....be sure to carry a mallet.
