A last minute thing - Chill

When we consider the eve before any important moment, it can often lead to feelings of panic or unease. There always seems to be so much to do and so little time left before the deadline. In the case of Christmas Eve, so many folks find themselves in a tizzy with far too many items remaining to check off their "to-do" lists.

Last minute shopping for that present you forgot or duck fat for the Christmas dinner. You come home weighted down with shopping bags as you joined the crazy shoppers looking for last minute bargains. Do you have time to tidy the house while you have been out the family have been sitting on their asses doing nothing.

Then you have to prepare for the big Christmas feast will the turkey be big enough, whose coming, do I have enough chairs, is the table big for us all - uncle jack is a fatty, what your girlfriend is a veggie. Soon every question is like a personal attack on you as you worrying and fretting over every little detail.

Has the night ticks along you are still at it preparing veg for tomorrows feast – Turkey, Beef, stuffing and Pigs in a blanket ready. Brussels sprouts, swede, Cabbage, parsnips and potatoes for roasting, carrots, peas, and potatoes (boiling). Tick tock time is still ticking away has there are still presents to wrap and it not even Christmas Day.

We forgot the boozes.............
