Are you like me and you have only just realised we have very little time now before Christmas Day? (First world problem I know!)

I am getting myself into my usual anxious state. I’ve left most things to the last minute as I always do. Granted I feel like I have a reasonable excuse this year because of our wonderful 8 month old DD, who is the best but she keeps me somewhat busy!

I think I have just reached a new peak of self induced stress. Thought I’d received a new notification of a present I wanted to buy for DD saying it was back in stock. So I quickly got it ordered, then afterwards I thought hmmm let’s just check I didn’t order it last week and that it wasn’t an old notification…. I had 🙈 So then I’ve just been on the John Lewis website for the past half an hour on and off repeatedly clicking cancel order and refresh but it was too late. I think my brain is totally frazzled now with what I have and haven’t done and I need to get some sleep whilst DD is sleeping!

But before then, I’m stressing because I haven’t got a single decoration up yet, the house is a tip and needs a major clean and tidy plus all the Christmas dec boxes are cluttering up the place. I’ve only written half the cards I need to get in the post. I haven’t wrapped up 3/4 of the presents yet. And I’ve still got a few to buy. I haven’t thought about what food we need yet. I bet there is more to do that I just can’t think of 😢

But I need to put it all into perspective I know, I think it’s the pressure I’m putting on myself for DD’s first Christmas. Like I said, first world problems, I should just be thankful for everything we’ve got considering the times we’re living in.

Anyway come and join me if you want to and we can stress out together 😂

Merry Christmas everyone 🎄🎄🎄

(Sorry I didn’t mean to waffle on quite so much, if you reached the end of that lot well done!)

Do you have lists of things to do? That’s the only thing that keeps me vaguely on track!
I have 3 cards left to write and post (I didn’t buy enough!), 6 last minute gifts to buy, 1 I’m waiting on delivery for, 8 gifts to wrap and 2 to post, all Santa stuff to wrap (with 4 dc this takes a while and has to be done after bedtime/ in school hours), the food shop to do (nearer the time) and some more decorations to put up. I also have to tidy the whole house (or cover the mess in tinsel and hope no one notices 😂)
And having just rechecked the list, it seems the youngest 2 need an extra present each 🙄🙈
