Day 237
Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and I still need gifts or more gifts for 15 people, and 90% of my purchased gifts aren't wrapped yet either. Panic seems about due now, so I expect it'll kick in some time before lunch. Until then, I'm going to just expect it to all work out in the end.
Or maybe...
Maybe I will panic. Maybe I'll make today my last day to truly panic, so that tomorrow is as peaceful and joy-filled as possible. My dream every year is to achieve a Christmas Eve free of present-buying and present-wrapping, free of stress and anxiety, when I can sit next to my Christmas tree with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate, and bask in the beauty of the season. Maybe a Christmas movie on Blu-ray or a good book to cozy up with.
I'm reminded right away though, even as I type these words, that I can't have that dream scenario if the presents aren't all bought and wrapped by tomorrow evening. Which brings me back to my original point...
I really should be panicking! I really should be absolutely freaking out right now, pondering how the heck I'll ever get this all done in time, and wondering why I ever thought it possible to reach that dream scenario in the first place! Hot chocolate and basking? How about heartburn and aspirin!
Panic mode: ON!!!
