Yes, time - never enough time! My #2 would be crowds. I loathe them. :)
Helen Ginger saidā€¦
Very good list. Right now I'm feeling the pressure of time and shopping. Really, really feeling the pressure.

AAARRRRRGGGGG! Tick, tick, tick. I have the turkey in the freezer and some of the baking done. Nothing else. Tick, tick, tick.

I like time the best as it is irreplacible while the rest of the items on your list are. My wife and I are hitting the EASY BUTTON this season and not stressing anything. Just enjoying the family time together.

I thought about time today and finally got stuff knocked out!

Time does seem to fly even faster this time of year! Extra calories would be high on my list -all those home baked goodies are too yummy to pass up.

Laura - The crowds. How could I forget. I try to avoid them, but sometimes it's impossible.

Helen - Right there with you.

Elspeth - No turkey yet. No baking yet. Baking comes next.

Stephen - You must be a zen master. However, I think women tend to stress more over the holidays than men do.

Elizabeth - Good for you!

Jane - You must've missed the memo. Sweet calories are cancelled by related stress during the holidays. Eat away! I'll look for my copy and send it to you . . .

Time - what is time and where did it go? Please tell me it's still October and Halloween is the next holiday, not Christmas - I'm so far behind.

Taxes. Yes, Taxes. It's the end of year planning season. Last chance to accelerate deductions or postpone income. I'm boringly practical.

Best, Galen.

Mason - I'm not quite that far behind, but I wouldn't mind it being the day after Thanksgiving. That's about where I am.

Galen - My live-in handyman mentioned something about taxes the other day. I can't even go there yet. Aarrgggh!
