So are you enjoying the Christmas spirit?
Or are you stressing out with the thought of everything that still has to be done?!
I feel quite calm as all the presents are done but my stress will probably begin on Christmas Eve as I set the table for Christmas Day and try to do as much food prep as I can so I am not running around madly on the day.
Everyone is bringing something for lunch but mostly cold things eg either a salad, fruit platter or a dessert. My problem is trying to co-ordinate all the hot things to be ready on time. Think turkey, roast vegies etc. I had an issue one year where my roast potatoes just wouldn't cook! I think I had too many things shoved into the oven!
These are the times I wish I had a huge double oven and a massive fridge!
I think I will get started on this dessert a few days before Christmas. It's always a favourite and something I only make at Christmas :)
Also randomly I am pondering over which paper to use as place cards. It's the little things people! ;)
So are you stressed out yet?!
I know it is such a lot of work and thought for one day but I wouldn't have it any other way!
