This year I started getting ready for the holidays early just to see what that would be like. So far it's been a better approach for me. One thing I DON'T like is all the stress around Black Friday. I couldn't care less about it, but for some reason it always FEELS like I should care more, so it creates a little bit of a stress storm for me. This year, I started shopping for everyone in late October, and just made a general list and stuck to it. I have a bunch of things stowed away now- all that's left to do is pick up a few odds and ends and wrap everything. I have to admit, it feels SO good to be immune from all the advertising and sales and things- I'm not very tempted because a lot of it is done. Now maybe I can enjoy December more.
