Was it a dream!

When I woke up today I could not help but think how organized I am!  My house is clean, my bills are organized and paid, my Christmas shopping is done.  I have this wonderful display of chocolates that I have made from scratch for everyone to enjoy on Christmas day.  The turkey is thawing and the ham is ready to cook!  My gifts are wrapped and are under the tree!  I have no last minute things to do or things to buy!  My new candle business is all organized and my new labels are done!  All I have to do for the next couple of days is curl up with my kids, coffee for me and hot chocolate for them and watch "A wonderful life" and "Miracle on 34th street" over and over!  Did I fail to mention that my kids are being well behaved and not asking me what they are getting for Christmas every 5 minutes!  .........Then I realized all that was just a dream.  I try to do all the above every year way before Christmas so we can truly enjoy our few days that family comes in to celebrate with us!    Don't get me wrong, my disorganization has nothing to do with Cancer, its truly a part of me.   When the fall season comes I start daydreaming about all the wonderful things I would like to do for Christmas.  By this time of the month, 3 days before Christmas, my daydreaming turns into complete stress and I realize I have not accomplished any of those wonderful things I would like to do for the holidays!  So what to do????????? I have decided that my house wont be perfect, I may have to buy some chocolates,  some of my gifts will be stuck in gift bags and Its really no big deal if my kids are asking me what they are getting for Christmas every 5 minutes.  So today's blog for me has been a little bit of a therapy session for myself and hopefully whom ever is reading!  Whats important about the holidays we do tend to forget.  Sounds like a cliche` but it is so true.  My family realizes that I am a slob and not the best house keeper in the world. They have known me for 44 years and I have NEVER been neat before.  They wont be disappointed or even surprised when gifts are in gift bags and not wrapped.   My mother will bring the most wonderful chocolates we have all ever eaten.   I think its all going to be OK!        Next year I will  be dreaming the same dreams about our Christmas celebration!  Never hurts to dream!  For the rest of this season I am going to do what I can do and still relax and enjoy being with my family!  Its time to take down the stress level a notch!   I hope that everyone reading has a Very Merry Christmas and takes your own stress level down a notch!  Happy Holidays!
