It’s been one of those days, and probably because I’m so set in my schedule and have to have everything perfect all at once. That was Doug’s accusation this morning and it’s true. I’m trying to relax. Our search for the right tree was a disaster. The place about 2 miles from us really doesn’t have a selection anymore and they’re so expensive. We drove out further into the country and found a place but they only had pre-cut trees. No. I refuse to get another tree with the needles spray painted green. Not working for me. After we got home I FINALLY found a place about 20 minutes from us that has you-cut trees. Bingo. Of course, it was already closed. So no tree today. That messes up my schedule. We’re supposed to get it the first weekend of December, don’t you know?Breath deeply. So what if I only put out one Christmas item a day. (I still have one more fall decoration to take down, though.) Who cares when the tree goes up. So what if I have to stay up late on Christmas Eve to wrap presents. Yes, this is the person who was bragging the other day about having all her gifts bought. Buying them online is one thing. Wrapping is another. So pray for me to relax and truly enjoy the season instead of stressing about getting everything done at a certain time.

You are so much like me. I am realizing that things will happen when they happen this year, not super early (like I always dream they might). I need to remind myself not to rush Christmas.
