13 Days Until Christmas?

I keep feeling so many mixed emotions about Christmas this year. The older I get, the faster the holidays fly by. Some days I am beaming with cheer, happiness and holiday tunes trying to take it all in and enjoy this special time of year. Other days I find myself completely overwhelmed with the year end work load, holiday parties, shopping, and the obligation to enjoy Christmas as it flies by faster than I would like. Unfortunately, I have this really bad problem of "checking out" when I get overwhelmed. With only 13 days until Christmas, I need to find some motivation to pull through, get it all done, and actually enjoy it all! Is that even possible?
