I have nothing bought & have 6 kids & 3 inlaws, 5 grandkids, parent's,sister & brother in law, neice & her family of 4,6 birthday's between Dec.10 to Dec.27, Thanksgiving dinner for 35 & a ton of outside decorating to do. I have no idea's what to buy nor what anyone wants. So I will freak out with you, at least we won't be doing it alone.

Having Thanksgiving for 10 and I do most of the work!
I have Cmas gifts to buy for my Mom, 2 sons, 2 DIL's and 5 grandchildren.
I bought my first gift this AM after my DIL alerted me to a great deal at one of our local stores.
I get so stressed out about finding those right gifts that I don't even feel like decorating the house!
I dread the weeks ahead...................

He is on it too much anyway, I have decided to not contribute to his 'addiction' this year....I have some ideas, but anything I come up with would involved gift certificates or gift cards of some kind (certain stores they like, getting them certificates for car washes and oil changes for their vehicle, etc) That's no fun to open on Cmas morning (at least not for me to watch them open!

I refuse to let it get me any more down then what it has. I'm concentrating on Thanksgiving first & then I'll freak out over Christmas & birthday's. Once Tgiving is over, I'm going to work like crazy to get my Christmas up, I have about 21 airblowns & a ton of the plastic figures to get up. We did get the lights up around the house & garage & sheds & all the windows, so that's something.

im the only girl......in a family of 6...one brother passed away few yrs ago......

i have 3 SIL.......that never offer to help.....only body i can depend on is my daughter...she helps me clean....and me and her are the 2 that basically do

all the cooking.....rest of them files in..with a small bowl or two....and sit down like they are guest....

i only work my butt off....because of my dad...i figure..he wont be around much longer.he's either 89 or 91.(they have his yr messed up on birth cert..compared to what his mom had written down)...so i do what i can ........

but what really pisses me off.....i walk in.....most of time in a bad mood after cooking all day.....and someone usually says.....whats wrong with u......one day.....

im gonna blow up ...and let them all hear whats wrong..LOL

then i always hear...did u enjoy your holidays.......enjoy....yea right....... 17|4|That's horrible...no wonder you can't enjoy the holidays! :( Maybe this year you can send out an email, telling them you are starting a new tradition....Potluck Family Holidays!

I can't do anything about all of the stuff that looms ahead of me until I can do something about it, so why worry? It always all falls together somehow and this year won't be any different. Or at least that is what I tell myself...
