Who gets stressed out around the holidays? Insert me raising my hand here!

Everyone is supposed to be happy, cheery and all calm right? Mmmm ya not happening here as I look around my house and think of oh about 100 things I really should be doing. No. Make that 101 things I should doing. It catches up with you. I wish I was one of those lucky people that were all organized and had their Christmas shopping done by November, but when they are starting to think about Christmas in July I just laugh. Instead, remind me to take note and follow along next year. It would be so helpful!

I’m at that point where I’m either going to crack or laugh. Tonight I choose to laugh because where is cracking going to get me except a little bit further behind?

Are you feeling the pressure? Do you want to crack? Instead follow my lead and laugh! Want to know how I’m going to entertain you and get you to laugh? Well, other than those of you that are organized and are laughing at me because I’m so stressed due to my disorganization!

I’m going to show you a little video by our friends over at Contadina. They are doing a few different comedic videos in a series called ‘Somewhat Famous’ . The series is a funny spin off celebrity reality shows, and takes viewers into the kitchens of real moms, who happen to share the same names as A-list celebrities.  And boy did I laugh! I also need to take note of “Meg Ryan” and relax about things! I’m probably a little bit more on the side of the host of this video. “Breathe Julie, Breath!”
