Christmas shoppings: Why is it so stressful?

[Floris]

It really isn't that popular in the netherlands, and the few things i found in the EU were overpriced or out of stock. I already checked around for things. I like etsy, i've been with them for quite a bit.

ill eventually find something, ill keep my eyes open.

I'm going shopping tomorrow and will hopefully finish everybody then. Then it'll just be writing cards, wrapping it all and posting what needs to be posted, and giving out what I can.

Glad I've done most of it now.... just got to find the headspace to finish and the dosh!

With everything going on and filling up my days and agenda, and then when I have time, my body can't deal with crap or i get headaches .. I haven't bought or thought about christmas at all - still .. sigh. Maybe i will just take $500 out of savings and go to amazon and empty my xmas wishlist

[Floris]

I have to work on the bedroom and i am more and more in the mood of if i run into something from christmas, ill just put it in the livingroom and then the next day i will deal with it .. while tidying up the closet in the bedroom the best i can. i 100% do NOT want stress from christmas, so .. right now this is the best i can do.
