...to get all your presents wrapped, all your ribbons tied, all your treats made, and all your preparations finished...I am so far behind.
In years past I have been known to make up to 17 different kinds of treats and goodies, but this year so far I have made NOTHING. I just haven't been up to it. I have even bagged out on making my Christmas morning cinnamon rolls this year. I just have nothing in me right now as far as cooking goes. I delegated the fudge to my sister, and I plan to make truffles because I fear for my life if I don't.
My shopping however, is pretty much done, although not wrapped up yet ;o) Every day I think to myself...I should wrap some gifts and get a head start...and yet...still I sit. I love Christmas... but I am not in the spirit this year. I don't think its only the nausea, there are other stresses I am thinking about.
So tell me...how do you get in the Christmas Spirit? We have decorated, we have made ornaments, we have watched Christmas movies, but I am just tired, and stressed, and I want to make the last few days before Christmas fun for the boys...so hit me with your best ideas!

I don't think everything MUST be the same every single Christmas. You're not feeling great. I would give you a big break this year, and remember that if you kill yourself making treats this year, that's what you'll remember, instead of it being a nice, peaceful time.
Ditto to what Millie said! Less stress = happier Christmas. Less treats = healthier Christmas. Sounds good to me!
And for the record, I'm in the exact same head space. I don't even know what we're eating for Christmas dinner or anything. I'm too tired and worn out to deal with it. So. I'm not!
Convince the boys to put on the Christmas story for you. They have to make it simple though. I'm with the others, less stress, happier pregnant mommy. Ahhhhhh.
Love the avatar. ;)
I made cookies and two different cakes...all eaten up now, I'm afraid. And I have not one single present wrapped.
