The holidays are here...so is the stress.

So now that the holidays are here for some of us, and with Christmas rapidly approaching, I've been finding myself trying to deal with an increasing amount of stress. Along with trying to find work, when no is hiring at the moment, my family is having their annual early Christmas party this Saturday. It's a bit earlier than usual, but we do it in order to try and get every together in our family so that my sisters can get together with their families and spend Christmas by themselves, or others have to work on Christmas, like my brother-in-law. it's not easy, trying to get every together. Added to this, my mom has gotten increasingly agitated with the holiday party coming and she's getting stressed out because the house wasn't clean today. Yet I spent yesterday vacuuming, cleaning the bathrooms, taking out garbage, and wrapping gifts yesterday. And today I did laundry, cleaned the kitchen and mopped the kitchen floor, yet she was raising her voice at me because I had the floor cleaner and I was mopping the floor while she wanted the mop for the downstairs bathroom floor. I get it that she's stressed. But she's lately resorted to taking it out on me for not doing enough when I've been doing nothing but trying to clean up, pick up newspapers, clean up and try and get the house picked up so it's presentable for the party.

So...what to do? How have I been dealing with the stress? Not well. I still need to get more presents for my niece and nephew, bills tomorrow, make rice krispie treats tomorrow for the along with a pistachio Bundt cake for my (she loves pistachio Bundt cake,) finish the cleaning and get the rest of the house in order.

So my question is...how do YOU handle stress? What do you do to manage and deal with stress? Any ideas? I know things will be a bit easier once this party is over, but still, it's tough managing things. I want the party to go well, I want my to be happy, but this year has been really rough. Because I was unemployed since early November, I wasn't able to get a lot of things for the this Christmas. Plus I know I'm doing my best, but as much as I feel that I'm trying as hard as I can to do everything, I feel stretched out. So what do you think? What do you do to cope with stress?
