Gotta Believe it...

The holiday season is one that a lot of people tend to dread while others look forward to it. On one side, you have the stressed out, last minute shopping, party hosting ball of nerves. On the other side, the relaxed, got-all-their-presents-in-August guy. At some point, everyone who has ever been to Camp Stress tries to migrate to Camp Joy. Most, unsuccessful. Those who do find it claim to have found nirvana. It's a kind of holiday calm most haven't experienced since sometime during childhood.

Then there are the Camp Insanity people - that is, the folks who stress, procrastinate and finally, just before the big holiday resolve to accept and find happiness in their insanity. These are the people standing in the middle of a room with unwrapped presents, a smile on their face and not a single intention of wrapping anything. "Here kids - find the presents in this room you would like. Daddy will be downstairs with his Coffee Frangelico and Cuban Cigar."

As for me, well. I fall somewhere between all three camps - I bought one present in August, most the Saturday before christmas and my cats are starting to look like good presents to give to the person who doesn't like cats. Don't get me started about Christmas cards...

Wishing you and yours,
Stress, Joy and Insanity,
