Enjoying reading these comments...! Cheered me up after a somewhat mournful morning thinking about Christmas's past.... We love Christmas but am finding it more stressful as the years go by. Fortunately husband cheers me on - he's up the ladder at the beginning of December to usually start up the street lights competition and raise the national grid. Inside house the same! Tree up and lit etc etc. I failed on the cards which had been bought in plenty of time, worked to duplicated lists which was ridiculous - must do better next year - and then couldn't find my Christmas stamps! I think this is what finally stressed me out. Thank goodness for this site which always cheers me up and makes me realise I'm not the only one going a bit doolally! I shall now start to enjoy and count myself lucky! Merry Christmas fellow gransnetters!
