Well- you knew this was coming…For my purposes, the holiday season is defined as the day after Thanksgiving up till New Years
- One holiday themed live show
- Look at holiday decorations on 5th and 6th Avenue in midtown Manhattan
- See the tree at the Metropolitan Museum
- Bake cookies
- Gingerbread (I love gingerbread in all forms)
- Watch five holiday themed movies
- Wrap all the gifts I buy (or actually put them in gift bags)
- See all my New York friends (but I mean the real friends- not the acquaintances)
- Send out holiday cards
- Not get mad at family events
- Make up a naughty and nice list
- Try to get my name off naughty list…
Here’s the thing about the holiday season: I love it. I love this time of year. But- I also feel overwhelmed this time of year. There are so many things I want to do, but time definitely gets away from me- so I make a list of things I will be mad if I don’t do. And then I write them in my calendar. I order the holiday cards the day after Thanksgiving (sales) and then I make appointments to address them. I try to do anything I can to not feel stressed. We’ll see how it works out this year.
