Are you exhausted before Christmas morning even arives? My last post was about making yeast rolls on Christmas morning, and after I wrote it - in good faith, mind you - I thought about all of the exhausted people who might read that post and want to hang me from the nearest Christmas tree.
Buy rolls, or just burn a cinnamon candle. The most important thing is to have enough energy to enjoy the day.
If you are short on stamina and starting to feel the burn, here are some last minute tips on salvaging your flagging emotional resources, to say nothing of your feet:
Take a hot bath. Beg, borrow, or steal a half hour to take a nice relaxing bath.
Read a chapter in a favorite book. This will calm you down and get you ready for the next round.
Take a ten-minute walk. Walking is invigorating, and the quiet time might remind you of something you've forgotten.
Ask for a neck rub. Tight muscles never helped anyone. Ask for an early gift, and have a loved one give you a five-minute neck massage.
