Affirmation for December 5, 2012: Don't let Yourself Get Overwhelmed by the Holidays
The time to relax is when you don't have time for it.- Sydney HarrisThought of the day:Let's face it, the holidays can be downright stressful at times. So many places to be, gifts to wrap, dishes to prepare - it's the busiest time of year for this sort of thing; and many of us are starting to feel weight of all these responsibilities. With all the going ons this time of year, don't forget to stop for a little while, enjoy, and smell the mistletoe.Happy Holidays!TeamDS

When my son walks through the door while on leave this Christmas, I will relax and stop and enjoy every moment I have with him. Until then, I\'ll have to push through and know that I\'m doing all I can to make his and my daughter\'s holiday special. Thank you TeamDS for being there with these affirmations, they do help. Warm hugs to you.
I tried to give myself a break this year...since Christmas will be at my house this year (15 people!) I asked if my siblings would help with the planning...they all said sure, now that the dead line is approaching they\'re all asking me what to do, what to bring, when to come, how is everyone getting here....guess no break for me till AFTER the holidays. Even with all the stress, Christmas is still my favorite time of year. Merry Christmas all :D
So true, thanks for your help
I was able to get some holiday shopping done this weekend so I\'m slowly starting to feel the holiday rush ease away! As for wrapping everything, that\'s a different story. I think I may try and chip away at that two nights this week.
