I feel wildly out of control this year. I still need to:

Shop for some last minute gifts although most of the main ones are sorted now.

Post cards to relatives (hoping they will get there by early next week if I post Thursday at latest).

Arrange postal gift for friends dc who is 3 on Christmas Day.

Post local cards through letterboxes.

The full food shop! Only got nibbles, turkey and ham so far.

About 50% of wrapping still left to do.

A big Christmas clean and tidy before people arrive on Christmas Day.

All of this while working (up until 23rd), usual chores and dealing with the kids numerous christmas plans.

God it looks worse now I’ve written it down.

I have a couple of cards still to do, a few presents still to buy and lots of wrapping still to do. But I've already done masses of cards, bought loads of presents and wrapped a lot, too. It just seems never-ending, and unfair. There's the food shopping to do, too.

Not got DC presents yet. DH will hopefully get to it Friday. Most of the food ordered for collection Monday. If we need anything else we'll pick up Tuesday or Wednesday.

It's no biggie. No point getting stressed about it.
