Apparently this church party has been well advertised for weeks to, but I honestly never knew about it.

People don’t understand that I really am a shell of my former self.

Good night Kathy. Prayers for you to sleep well tonight.
I'm glad you are keeping your boundaries.
I hope you have a wonderful family day decorating tomorrow. Take lots of rests when you need to (M-the mother hen
).
Love you and always prayers and hugs. ♥♥♥

Sounds like a fun weekend Kathy, with your family helping put up the decorations. Lots of fun, fun, fun, and maybe partaking of a cigar too!. 
Hope you slept well, refreshed for a wonderful weekend, my friend.
Love and hugs to you Kathy, and your wonderful witty, intelligent, interesting and not forgetting hilarious, Gilmerites .

There are many ways to serve God (and the church) and spending family time decorating a Christmas Tree is one of them. It brings your family together to honour the birth of His son.
The church will do fine without you, it's nice that they want you and may miss you, but they will do fine. And so will you, with your family joining in another Christmas tradition.
And...you inspired my morning contribution of joy, Christmas trees that you may want to copy for your front room.

I just found out that my other two sons are coming for the weekend. My granddaughter is getting baptized on Sunday, and there's going to be a party.
I realized this when I woke up this morning.
Now all I want to do is hide. No cookies, no decorating, no nothing. I can't face any of this.

Take a deep breath, and talk to your husband.....tell him it is too much for you. Perhaps your sons could just come tomorrow?
Sending you massive amounts of love.
