Back when I was married and had money, I usually had all the shopping done before Thanksgiving. The only thing I left for December was stocking stuffers. I really miss that. It frees up finding time for fun. Though I will freely admit that the reason I did it then was to eliminate my holiday anxiety. I filled up the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas with expectations and activities just so I didn't have to deal with the reasons behind my anxiety. So perhaps that makes me somewhat of a hypocrite?
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and that peace follows shortly. You and your family deserve a little peace about now.
