I’m having a hard time keeping up with this time of year, I’m honestly still back in September and don’t even feel Christmas-y just yet.
We haven’t even put the tree up! Mostly because with a 2-year-old and 10 month old, decorations aren’t really going to be decorations, but more like festive balls and“Lets see who can cause mom an emotional breakdown this season, first!”
Better late than never…
I havent had time for crafts and all three, yes, all three of my kids are sick. Really, I don’t have my shit together, but this is worse than usual…
Nevertheless, I am very happy to have won a giveaway for Christmas cards. I don’t think I would have had the motivation to do them, as usual. My laptop broke back in September, so I had a limited selection of photos to choose from before this card season was a total loss.
Don’t feel alone! I just posted a blog about my own personal “Christmas funk” and my lack of putting the Christmas tree up or feeling festive. I’m going to blame it on lack of sleep due to having toddlers.
I won some beautiful Christmas cards too…thanks for reminding me that I better send them out on Monday! Your cards are so cute! Keep your head up mama!
My latest blog post is all about feeling like the Grinch. I haven’t been sick but I am just tired of the whole damn thing. Burned out. I get you. I quit doing Christmas cards last year and it feels so GOOD to be done with it quite frankly! And that is something I used to really enjoy doing. It’s weird though how good it feels to give up on trying to do and be everything at Christmas. Freedom!
Hope you feel better soon….
BTW, the card is precious and so are your darling girls!
You’re not alone in your feelings. I’m sick now and feeling ‘scroogish’ as well. But I really don’t think you are behind. I try not to compare myself with everyone else and what they are doing. Do what you can, do your best and that is enough. I promise. Don’t let commercialism and marketing make you feel less than. For me, Christmas is about Christ, everything else is just fluff. Hang in there! I hope your kids get well real soon!
