You wake up in the morning feeling there are so many things
to do today. It is Christmas Eve and so many things to do.
You came across
going to the grocery store for last minute things to buy and come out with a

You come back home and need to pick some food up for the
celebration. Come home tired and no appetite to eat.
You decide cooking for the
upcoming evening.
You cook some chicken macaroni salad, spaghetti and feeling
so drained out.
You only have a short time to rest and end up working it off
making some garden salad for the menu for tonight.
By the time you eat at the dinner table you feel so sleepy
and can’t seem to wake up being so tired.
It is not even mid-night yet when you start exchanging
Christmas gifts with your in-law.
You still have three hours to kill and try to figure out how
you can stay awake.
You turn on your internet on your phone all the beeping
comes to your phone so many friends have started greeting you a Merry
Christmas. You turn and reply all to them greeting them a Merry Christmas.
I am sure I am not the only one dealing with this kind of stuff right now.
