Is anyone else stressed over the holidays?
Part of the problem of my stress is a crazy toddler who literally screamed at the top of her lungs today for 15 minutes in the car. Terrible 2s are pretty hard core right now and my eye is twitching 
I've realized I can't do it all and most likely won't be able to do my annual baking to gift cookies. I haven't wrapped a single gift yet and our house is a pig sty. Luckily we were able to knock 1 of our xmas's down this year so we will only have 4 instead of 5. I'm exhausted!

Re: Is anyone else stressed over the holidays?
I took a day off from work just to finish stuff up because I was starting to feel stressed. Once I had that day it was great. Do you have any family to watch your daughter for a day so you can get stuff done?
I have done most of the shopping this year since MW has been picking up extra hours at work on weekends.
I am glad that both of our jobs decided to have their Christmas parties after the holidays.
We've cut down from four to three Christmas events this year. Last year wasn't even fun. Once we have kids, I'm making people come to us for sure. That said, we're both onlies so I know it's a trickier call when siblings and little cousins are involved.
Even without kids, I'm a Christmas mess this year. The house is in a vile state, nothing is wrapped, and gifts for our OOT family are getting mailed tomorrow, the last possible day.
