How much pressure do you put on yourself coming up Christmas?

Whether its buying presents, cooking a big dinner, nights out etc.

A little. But it's OK because it's out of love.

The bad pressure is those I have to spend time with.

No pressure at all. Despite my best efforts, I always cook the turkey until it is dry. I balance this out with enough alcohol so no one really cares.

It's more about the spirit;

I like seeing all my family that I can, and my sister and I usually have a very themed Christmas dinner/dining experience that turns out absolutely beautiful. This year it is Harry Potters dining room because theres some younger members who are getting into the books. And yes I even figured out how to fabricate the floating candles from the ceiling.

I don't put any pressure on myself because it would take away the enjoyment. I buy what I can afford and enjoy it for what it is, which for me is family and food.

It's not pressure it's pleasure. I have 6 for Christmas lunch, the lounge is getting moved around this weekend (although the tree won't go up for a couple of weeks yet) I've already got a couple of pressies wrapped. My ex takes care of most of the cards and by the time time I do my crimbo shop all I will need is fresh stuff. Bring it on!

It's not just that. If you have friends or family around let them help, no one wants you to fail. If you forget something don't worry, it's life and most of all remember, if people are with you it's because they want to be with you, enjoy their company and the rest will fall into place. Have a great day and enjoy it.

Not a lot of stress. But worth it. Sometimes it's best not to make plans as they tend to backfire

We don't really bother with Christmas at the moment but this will change next year when our granddaughter is born. So many people seem constantly stressed by it
