Are You Also Totally Overwhelmed & It’s Not Even December Yet?! ([link removed])

Today is November 30. Is it just me, or did the holiday stress hit really hard, really early this year? It certainly did for Samm Davidson: “It’s four in the afternoon, and I am frantically sifting through school emails to jot down all the holiday happenings on my wall calendar before I forget. Mariah Carey is blasting in the background as I wipe my kid’s snotty nose for the thousandth time, and although I am cheerful, I am overwhelmed. Because with Thanksgiving striking early and a house full of kids, I have been decking my halls and rockin’ around my Christmas tree for what feels like an eternity already, and it’s not even December yet.”

And today, she’s got a really satisfying rant that I bet a lot of you will relate to. Hang in there, everybody!
