Holiday Stress

So I started out the month strong with the holiday traditions post but then...the packages, the parties, the decorating, the basement reassembly, the last of the fall leaves and the hospital visits have gotten me STRESSED OUT! For those of you who may not know, My mother in law has been in the ICU for almost two weeks, but she got to come home late last night. So that has pretty much put a buzz kill on the holidays around the house. We have tried to maintain as much tradition as possible but it has been stressful and exhausting. I love Christmas time and with my mother in law home and somewhat healthy now I can slow down a little and enjoy what is left of the season.

I guess I will have to do New Years Eve up this year to make up for the lost holiday cheer! Any suggestions?
