[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 474976, member: 84"] I'm too flexible to have stress. And we stretch our holiday celebrating throughout the months so it's not all at once. I'm flexible with holiday meals because easy child being a nurse is as likely to work the holiday as to have the day off. Plus her mother in law is anal retentive over holiday meals and is a PITA. We've been known to have xmas dinner on xmas eve or the day after xmas........same with Thanksgiving. Leading up to the holidays we do the baking ect for them so it's not all done at once. Something I set up years ago when the kids were small. Everyone does the baking ect.....keeps it from being on one person both cost wise and work wise. AND we usually make up a huge batch of stuff to give away as well. I'm much more cost conscious this year. I'll be using my coupons to death to get through them as cheaply as humanly possible. No real tree this year. I found my small one I love while doing the bedroom yesterday under a pile of "stuff". omg I let the kids figure out what they're doing with in laws before making my meal plans with the idea that it makes it less stressful on [B]them[/B] too. The holidays is supposed to be fun family time, not a stress fest. And I get the can't leave the animals thing. I've got the same problem. [/QUOTE]
