Do you put too much pressure on yourself during the holidays? I do. [View all]

Most of my gifts are hand-made or hand-baked.

I spend a lot of time wondering if I'm missing someone, or if I'm doing enough and whether or not I'll get everything finished and/or delivered on time.

And then I spend a lot of time trying to toss all that out of my head because the truth is that the joy of the holidays has nothing to do with whether or not I do any of it.

And then I go back to stressing, because I'm sure there's something that I'll miss and that I'll be kicking myself over.
