I’m LOVING all the Turkey-Day disaster stories you’re postingfor me. They’re hilarious – and you’re making me feel a little bitbetter (just a wee bit) about holiday cooking.

I mean, everyone flubs up now and then. Then, we can all laughabout it later! HAHA! So, please – keep the stories coming. I thinkthis could make a really funny story to run in the paper, so someof you might be hearing from me by e-mail to see if you’d bewilling to let me use your real names. Some of these stories arejust TOO GOOD to keep to ourselves.

My worries about holiday cooking are going away a little, butnot my anxiety over the holiday-season planning in general. What’sthe big deal? Well, due to some unforeseen family situationspopping up, our Christmas traditions are getting turned upside downthis year.

So, I’m finding myself reflecting a lot about what newtraditions we might want to create, and how we can go about doingit.

Plus, I have my daughter’s 3rd birthday, and my husband’s(cough, cough, cough – hate to bust him out on his age!) birthdayto celebrate and plan for in December, too.

Seriously, how do you juggle it all at your house? I know Ican’t be the only one worrying about this already. Maybe it’s notpeople or events you’re juggling, but finances or service workaround the holiday season.

If any of you might be willing to talk about this issue (usingyour real name) for a possible story about how people divide uptheir time at the holidays, please let me know.

In the meantime, please keep making me giggle.
