I've got most of the presents wrapped, I've got some of the Christmas food goodies bought and stashed away (the cake is managing to stay intact but the mince pies are taking a bit of a hit) the drink is safely in the supplementary fridge (garage) and now I've hit some sort of wall.
(Wow-all one sentence!)
So far this morning, all I've managed to do is get showered and dressed!
What can you suggest to make me get a grip and carry on with the prep for the 25th?

you know there are 22 days before the big day!?, you have done very well up to now, I am still on present buying/wrapping ;)
make sure everything you need for your comfort is safely stashed away - whether it be choccy, wine, goodies for a soak in the bath or a relaxing facial.massage booked. Can't have the boss stressed at Christmas is my way of looking at it.
You could take a break and try to motivate others. i haven't even really started and keep putting it off.
I don't celebrate it...very very easy :-)

Well, I'm still sitting here browsing CB so none of you have succeeded in the task yet.
I can't even be bothered to get up for a cup of coffee, that's how bad it is!
maybe your body needs a day off?
I'd love to help you get motivated,
but,
well,
you know how it is!
;o)
What does 'motivate' mean please?
I would look it up but, well, you know.....

Well, that was a lot of help, Baldric! You want to come and join me?
I have made a big decision. I'm going for a coffee, get out the makings of a Yorkshire pudding for dinner then I'm going to sit down with a DVD and the last of this box of mince pies.

:)
You've got most of the pressies wrapped? You've started buying food? The drink is all bought and stashed away? That all sounds pretty motivated to me. If I'd done all that I would have broken into the mince pies and booze already. :-(
I'm not bothering with Christmas this year and am finding it extremely liberating!

I am trying to motivate myself to get in the study and scan a pile of documents, I'm struggling to make my way up the stairs though.

I might have lunch first.......
At the rate you are going,you'll be burnt out by the day. Take a break-maybe you need it.
Remind yourself that all those presents will be unwrapped in the space of ten minutes....

Well, thank you all for your advice. Have had a very relaxing day and all primed to go up to Argos tomorrow and fetch the next consignment!
I will try to leave a little bit for the rest of you x
Err. . The mince pies are no more
If you have a few spare minutes you could peel the sprouts and get them started on a low simmer.
Think you deserve a treat, have a browse through next summer's holiday brochures
