I'm afraid I've fallen prey to the whole 'seasonal stress' thing this year (maybe to take my mind of my job insecurity- I find out on 8th January if I'm going to be sacked!) I've been so busy organising everything that yesterday I just got over the whole thing, and wished Christmas would go away. I feel very sad about that, as usually I love this time of year, and, as a Christian, I know better than to worry overmuch about externals.
It doesn't help that my husband has never been one for making a fuss about things, so if I want something to be festive, I generally have to do it myself. I guess I've just put so much pressure on myself to make Christmas special, while I'm pre-occupied with my job, that it's all fallen flat.
However, tonight I'm just going to relax and remind myself that I have plenty of time, and that Christmas isn't about what we do anyway, it's about what was done for us. Now that makes me feel more merry! Have a blessed Christmas everyone. xx
