9. 30 minutes to clothe children in winter wear, 5 minutes of children outside.
8. Toys magazines galore in the mail.
7. Wet snow clothes flung all over the garage.
6. The store clerk asking my kids if they were good enough for Santa to come.
5. 'Happy Holidays'
4. Wrapping gifts. I am terrible at wrapping!
3. Cookies, my biggest temptation. I would gladly skip a meal for a 1/2 dozen cookies. Real good example to my kids huh?!?
2. Trying to fit all the extended family Christmas's in without going in sane
1. Children on a Happy Sugar High, anxiously waiting for Christmas morning, who are low on sleep due to extra activities of the season.

What a cute post. It made me smile and start making my almost crazy list in my head too!
Hope the rest of the month is peaceful and fun!

I can relate to EVERYONE of those! Had to giggle! The problem is here is the wet snow clothes are strung all over my house with the matches to the mittens are...well who knows! :) I'm a cookie fan too!
Your list is great! I would add 1) people not rsvping to parties 2) being so far away from family, 3) too many parties to go to for work, etc, and 4) saying "holiday" for everything. May we all keep God's peaceable, loving heart for Christmas and the whole year through.
#10 made me laugh. That is so Iowa! Everytime I come home I forget about the dirty car side and lean into it. It drives me crazy. :-)
