Holiday Cheer

I don't know about you but I am finding that many of my friends as well as myself are into skipping Christmas this year. I love Christmas but this year it feels a little overwhelming. I am working towards keeping it simple and looking forward to just spending the day with the family and yet at night I have found myself running lists of what to buy for who and when do the cards need to be in the mail.......and then I am not sleeping.
I have taken the approach of writing a list of 6 items that need to completed the following day. Then I just concentrate on completing those tasks. I don't worry about anything else for that day. Just before I go to bed I make my list for the next day. I feel like a little train just chugging along getting a little more done each day but it has reduced the anxiety and hopefully I am projecting a little more holiday cheer.
