They are only stresses if you allow yourself to be stressed.
Planning is the key......and being ready and able to change your plans should this be necessary.
I used to do all of that you mention, plus I did the Christmas shopping for the ward,bought and wrote all the cards, planned and sorted out a buffet for the staff and patients on Christmas day...worked a shift and then came home and did our Christmas dinner.
It is what we do. I do not expect it to be perfect......it just has to be something that will draw family and friends together.......What kind of mouse are you?
'Forced to wear a Christmas jumper'...my heart bleeds purple pee for you.
You are privlileged to have in laws to celebrate with...to have food to eat and a warm jumper on your back...Now, stop whining and shut up!
