The end of the year is coming irresistibly. December is, in all respects, quite different from all the other months. It is a time of gifts, happiness, joy, celebration, but it can also be stress, overwhelmed and sad. In order to get the best of December, however, we need to plan well and organize ourselves; we must draw up a battle plan. If you belong to the group of people who are looking forward to December with pleasure and excitement, you must prepare well for it, because there is a lot of shopping, crowds, preparation, and lack of free time waiting for you; however, if you belong to another group of people who are not so fond of December, your preparations for it also do not escape. Timely Plan also all entertainment and December meetings and prepare them well.

As we are retired at Christmas it is stressful as in the holidays every person going on a holiday drives away from Auckland and on the roads it is car after car going north or south . the driving alone is stressful for many.
It is also very hot as well, travelling in a car.
I don’t mind as we don’t take our holiday until the crazy season is all over and it is a little cooler.
Even in our country, the roads are awful these holiday days. I prefer to stay home unless there is an emergency
For me, celebrating Christmas and New Year’s holidays is the best time of the year, dear Vidocka … not really stressful, but it’s really a little more work
Nice. There is a lot of work. I don’t know how much you have to do ?
To tell the truth I do a little bit more, dear Vida
Nice to help your darling …. ?
He himself would certainly do nothing
🙂
We waited longer this year than we ever have to do Christmas.
It is interesting, the reality of the stress this time of year.
Oh, you haven’t missed anything yet. You still have time to sort everything out. ?
we do, there is less stress overall though. We aren’t going back to Indiana (a 10 hour drive, or 2 hour plane flight).
All the family will be in Indiana. But our kids will all be with us in Maryland.
All of your family will be gathered and this means a wonderful celebration in the family circle.
yes we will talk to the family in indiana as well!!!
This is so beautiful! I think that the preparations can be stressful, but I am taking it easy this year.
Thank you. I try to avoid stress as much as possible.
That’s very wise! I think people get stressed because we tend to have unrealistic expectations about the holidays.
You are right. I always say we have to stand on the real ground.
Not much celebrating for me, not a fan of December. But I hope others enjoy.
I understand, my dear friend. I am not a fan of this holiday either. It only brings me sad memories.
We just celebrate Christmas but nothing like a holiday as you guys call it.
I am glad you celebrate in peace and the holiday does not cause you stress.
As usual, I am trying to remain calm and if I do some decorating it will be this weekend
Good tactics. Also, I try to stay as calm as possible.
