Content: From the highs to the lows, we'll experience at least one of the following stages as we celebrate yet another holiday with loved ones. Anticipation
You are in full-on pre-Christmas mode, which usually consists of equal parts eagerness and anxiety. Whether you’re doing some last-minute wrapping, braving the wild masses at the department stores one last time or excitedly awaiting the arrival of your extended family for the holidays, the anticipation of it all is killing you. Though some choose to celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve with certain family members, for those who don’t, it’s just a big waiting game. You could call it the calm before the storm… or more commonly, a day to relax your body and mind until tomorrow, when you know you will be covered in wrapping paper and glitter, energized by cinnamon rolls and doughnuts and most likely, drunk off mimosas by noon. While you try to distract yourself with pre-Christmas activities, or you're like me and require a Christmas movie to be watched by all family members the night before, you can’t help but think excitedly about tomorrow’s festivities and how happy you are this special day has finally arrived. Excitement
It’s Christmas; it’s Christmas! The day we’ve waited for all year is finally here! If you’re anything like me, you were up with the sun, waiting in crazed impatience for the rest of your family to slowly roll out of bed and make themselves comfortable around the tree.
