This thread needs updating! I've been doing pretty well. I have managed to stay pretty stress-free for this time of year. Christmas has become nicely low key. Since my cats are still young and crazy, we can't put up a tree because they will climb it, and it's a huge relief not to deal with it. As much as I love Christmas trees, they require some effort, and are messy, and I don't miss dealing with that.
I also have kept gift buying to a minimum. I got a few things I know people want or need, and baked cookies. Now I'm done. I sent out cards, and that was actually a nice boost to my holiday spirit.
I asked my father a couple of years ago not to spend money on me anymore, and that was a great decision. This might sound mean, but his presents always left me feeling annoyed. He'd get me gift cards to stores that I boycott, or food I don't eat. It was wasteful and depressing. This year, he sent me a few pictures. So much better!
Now the bad--I ate chocolate yesterday. I feel like I drank 6 cups of coffee. I hope it will wear off soon. Other than that, things are good.
ETA: Ha! I didn't realize this thread was for sept/oct. Never mind
