Stitching dilemma

sierciaSo, I have a whole lot of projects queued up right now. Mostly this is good, especially as I want to implement a budget crunch soon, which means no more supply buying for a little bit. But, I have a dilemma.
I went out on Monday with my oldest friend Elaine, to pick out a sampler for her wedding (she gets married 6 weeks from tomorrow). She picked out this beautiful piece. I got enough of the supplies I need to get started on it, and if I did nothing but stitch in all my free time between now and then, I could probably finish it in time to give it to her on her wedding day. Probably. There is certainly no certainty there. But, I've also committed (in my head) tomaking a number of Christmas presents this year, and it's almost October now. Most of the Christmas presents are quite small, and individually, if I were cracking along, none would take more than a week or so to do.
I can't decide whether I should try to push and get the wedding sampler done in time, and say the hell with the Christmas presents (the two most important ones are near done at this point), or whether I should buckle down, get the Christmas presents out of the way, then start the wedding sampler, with a firm mental commitment of finishing it by January. Technically, I have until a year post-wedding to give her the sampler, and still not be gauche.
I should be out there stitching instead of at the computer angsting about it, I'd bet.
