That is a wonderful, down-to-Earth list! I especially love #4, “The dust has a pretty glow to it…” - my house is always full of dust ;-)
When I was young - and admittedly had more time - I thought everything had to be perfect; I went overboard on things, and ROUTINELY caught a terrible ‘flu, every year on schedule, just after the first of the year. I wore myself out!
Then I learned to relax, and things got much better. I realized that half of the stuff I was so concerned about - NOBODY EVEN NOTICED! People love Christmas for reasons that the ‘perfectionist’ often forgets.
But I do try to start early, so it’s not so stressful. Buy a few gifts throughout the year; make a list in January of what went wrong, what went right, things you need for next year; and get out to those 50 to 75 per-cent sales right after Xmas, to save a ton of money on next year’s stuff. (I haven’t bought wrapping or Xmas cards ‘new’ in decades.)
Relax and have fun!
