The Last Minutes

Christmas is almost here. There are still many things to do before everyone arrives. Perhaps a gift has been forgotten or maybe an ingredient for the feast was omitted from the grocery list. Sigh, another trip to the market.

Time is running out and there are so many little things on my mind. But stress serves no useful purpose so it's time to put on the tunes and complete my tasks to the rhythm of the music.



It's time for Thursday Two-Questions!
1) How do you relieve stress during the holiday season?
2) Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Joyous Holiday season!

Those kitten cats are so pretty. They look so relaxed. I'm sure we could learn a lot from animals . . .

a) I don't do stress. If it's not done perfectly, will it really matter? Is anyone but me going to notice?

b) And best wishes to you and yours! Let's all just enjoy the important things over the festive season.

I ALWAYS feel like I've forgotten a present. This year I ordered almost everything over the internet.

Have a WONDERFUL Christmas!

I relieve my stress by going outside, take a few fresh breaths and come back to deal with whatever at hands.

Happy holidays, Judy!

I releive stress by doing my damnest NOT to have it in the first place...it's not easy but I remind myself what is really important this season; people and good times and NOT the 'things'...
so make that trip to the grocery store and find relief in the fact that some people; even on the 23rd of Dec. have not even started their shopping yet! Now THAT takes my stress away :)

I hope you have a very Merry Christmas, Judy, with minimal stress! Those kitties are adorable.

Sunny said...

Always remember that stressed spelled backwards is desserts...so focus on the task at hand and then have a slice of cake!
A very Merry Christmas to you and Miss Cindi Lou.

I try to prevent stress by not tackling as many projects around Christmas time as I usually do. Unfortunately, that includes writing.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I value our Thursday Two Question connection and hope we keep in touch in 2011.

Merry, merry christmas, Judy!!! You are truly one of the jewels of blogland. to relieve stress? Sleep!!!

Self Sagacity said...

I thought I was doing fine with how I relieve stress, but it seemed that I have to find more ways...so I am not one to answer this question.
Merry Christmas! Be safe and be well.

Honeygo Beasley said...

Hope your holiday was beautiful. That's a lovely ornament too.

Pat Tillett said...

I really try to avoid it! I'm pretty good at not letting stuff inside that stresses me out! This time of year is very busy though...
so maybe I have just a little!

One of the things that help me relax during the holidays is the Christmas songs. I love them. It's hard to be stressed when singing.
