Help me stop it!

I love Christmas normally…or perhaps the build up mainly.
We live abroad so it’s just us this year (Dh, Dd,4 and dog) and I *Should be feeling relaxed, shouldn’t I 🤷🏻‍♀️I don’t have to host anyone, but will still be doing all cooking etc, I’ve done all present shopping and wrapping, spent two days food shopping with a not greatly behaved 4 year old 😫and still have a few bits to get.
Dd threw tinsel everywhere this morning as she was making a Christmas tea party, all very sweet…but I had to walk in the kitchen to stop myself telling her off/getting annoyed as it was a mess everywhere.
Part of me is sad we’re not in U.K. with family, but really having spent years catching planes & trains and not sleeping in our own homes…I should be more relaxed…shouldn’t I 🤷🏻‍♀️I have got money worries on my mind (guessing lots have) but have decided to try to park that somewhere in another part of my brain until Christmas is over and January is here. I suppose I’ve spent a few weeks crossing these lists off my phone and I’d so love to just be ‘*In the moment…
Anyone else just feeling like an anxious misery, how to shake out of it?

Hit the baileys and coffee, definitely. I think it can be really hard when you are the o r who ‘brings the magic’. Festive film with DD, enjoy the moments, try not to dwell on past or future - just the now x

Me - Covid has hit again and messed up our plans for the 3rd year in a row - so sick of it all - I’ll hit the Bailey’s, good idea
