'Tis the Season to be Crazy

Hectic, Chaotic, Busy! That seems to be the norm of the Christmas Season. My goal: to slow things down and still accomplish all I need to.
In the next three weeks I am overseeing my church women's group Christmas party, I'm decorating for my husband's office party, my son is turning 8 (which means my entire family is coming), I am decorating for a wedding reception, I am participating in my church Christmas party and the Christmas Sunday program, and my family is coming back again for Christmas.
Yeah, I won't be busy at all. And somehow in there I have to shop for, wrap and send presents for over a minimum of extended 20 family members (not counting my husband and 4 kids!).
Next year I will keep my goal of shopping for a different family group per month until Christmas so that, with any luck, I will be done by Thanksgiving. I do have to admit that I am over half way there, but I'm having problems shipping the gifts for my husband's family. How do you wrap and mail 8 emergency back packs?
Time to get back to work, just keep those Christmas carols blasting and I'll be fine! :)
