[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 208240, member: 1722"] Susie gives some excellent advice here. Duckie is doing much, much better but I used to have to live by my calendar. I could write one "smallish" thing to do per day and one big thing followed by a day off. We spent the day off doing fun things around the house:gathering leaves, coloring placemats, making pies, decorating cookies, addressing cards, making snowmen or snow angels. Easy stuff that can be somewhat child-led and could be abandoned or completed by me after bedtime. I'm notorious for not taking Duckie into to stores decorated for Christmas, it's just too much. Anticipation slips into anxiety too easily for her. She does okay with home decorated, but other kids don't, follow your instinct. Your family might do best with a simple tree and stockings going up on Christmas Eve. [/QUOTE]
