I absolutely REFUSE to get stressed out over Xmas!

[ayngelcat]

I do! I cannot BEAR that rushing around, getting presents, grappling with Xmas decorations, fighting way through supermarkets to get food you don't really need, trying to work out where to go and to see who and take what, stressing about the house not being perfect on the day  blah blah BLAH, etc etc etc! Bleeaarrgghhh!

I discovered a few years ago that if all the presents don't get sent on time, and the food isn't the ultimate haute cuisine, and the Xmas tree despite the best of intentions fails to make an appearance - and, even better if you do not actually leave HOME for the day - then, strangely, the universe does not stop turning. And everyone doesn't hate your guts :D

So I figure, WTF?

And, after my adventures getting lost in the forest a couple of weeks ago, I arrived in this very aesthetically pleasing place last week, which certainly helped with peaceful non Xmas stress mindset <3



NICE !!

I totally agree with you! We don't do big fancy Christmases or complicated menus, either. Unfortunately, life decided to cheat this year and just stress me with non-Christmas stuff instead *sulks*

Awwww .... *many hugs!*

Well you can't help the other stuff. Unfortunately Xmas, when we're all supposed to be 'having such a great time' sometimes seems to be precisely when other 'issues' choose arise to challenge that concept.

But if you disengage from the Christmas hysteria/obligation thing, it can be a remarkably good time for sorting other s**t out >3

*snuggles* It's not so bad, just normal stress. But it's annoying that it happens at Christmas time, I would rather be relaxing and enjoying it!

*Snuggles back* Yeah, would be annoying! I hope you manage to create a space to relax and enjoy, regardless :D

I'll send you some more nice river pictures, perhaps ??

Yes, that would be awesome!
