I am so behind on shopping/cards/photography work and unfortunately my problems can't be remedied by a list. Unless it's one that tells me I don't have to buy gifts for anyone or send out Christmas cards! (I skipped cards last year, so that's not really an option.) And then following Christmas are my children's birthdays.... Oh my, I can feel my heart beating faster already. Is it too early for some cranberry orange vodka? <br /><br />PS. I can't believe you like the Chipmunks Christmas! HAHA. Many many years ago I quit a job in retail over the holidays because I had to listen to that album day in and day out. I thought I was going to go completely nuts. EEK! :)180360https://www.blogger.com/profile/02440839854732725686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76101787963356519.post-75710546380888257412011-12-06T15:41:42.053-08:002011-12-06T15:41:42.053-08:00Great post Torrie!!!!

I remember turning to my sister one year (after putting on the awful jammies we had just gifted each other) and telling her that I hoped there would be no fire or other disaster that would send us out to the street. :)<br /><br />I like this priority list. We kind of did that this year as there are only 2 shared days off between my husband and I and we didn't want to spend them on obligations. Especially as I'll be working 12 hour days Christmas Eve AND Christmas Day. Off to read Stephanie's list. . .<br /><br />Jenn<br /><a href="http://thesuburbexperiment.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Suburb Experiment</a>The Suburb Experimenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01758238506542199320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76101787963356519.post-46881573285151165012011-12-06T05:30:07.580-08:002011-12-06T05:30:07.580-08:00I think I might be the only one around who thinks ...I think I might be the only one around who thinks eggnog is nasty!

Sorry. =) See if you can schedule one whole Saturday or Sunday morning to just sit around in your jammies and then of course, I always recommend a pedicure for some good old fashioned alone time.

Everything else is gravy, and I have recognized that it's okay to say no to things, even if it's something we've always done. Here's my list from last year...I'll probably post this year's later this week.

I have been dealing with things by just saying no, but I think the idea of making a list of things you want to do is a far superior way of going about things.
