Is anybody else already getting anxious for the holidays?

Everytime I go home to LI, especially for the holidays, I get so incredibly anxious because I feel like I have to make time for everybody... especially since both sets of parents are divorced, and we have to see all 4 sets of families for the holidays... which is just such a joy to schedule Between that, and trying to squeeze in friends, I go back to school more stressed out than I was when I left.

I mentioned wanting to just skip going to LI for the holidays, but DH would have none of that.

I hate feeling like this!

ETA: does anyone have any ideas for coping with the stress of it all?

Holidays are very stressful especially when it comes to visiting with all family!

I get the same feeling but we don't really have a large family. I just try not to think about it & just go with the flow as much as possible!!
