It all gets done...somehow...
As I write this, my Christmas cards are staring at me on the side of my desk. I managed to make the cut off date for 
buying a few gifts online yesterday and having them delivered by Christmas Eve (which was important because one of them isn't sold here in Albuquerque) and tomorrow I have two gifts left to buy. I have no idea what we are doing on Christmas Day.
This is very unlike me. I'm usually done with at least my cards and usually my gifts and my grocery list is made. However, this year I've had several work projects and numerous articles to write. I finally realized: somehow it will get done.
We spend most of the holiday season fretting about everything we need to do only to realize when it's over that we did get it all done. And if it didn't get done? No one noticed (and that's usually the cleaning house before everyone arrives part).
