Can you
believe it? Two months from today is
Christmas. Ahhhh! How are you doing with your
preparations? Right now I’m alittle behind. Time to kick it into high gear.
·
Finish
up your gift shopping.
·
Wrap
all your gifts and tag them.
· Review
your Christmas card list and make any necessary changes. Purchase Christmas stamps.
· Finalize
your family letter and print enough copies to go with your cards. Enclosing a photo? Print those and get them ready as well.
· Plan
your holiday menus. Incorporate what you
need into your grocery budget. You may
want your meat, if expensive, to be a part of your Christmas budget.

I set a target date of the day before
Thanksgiving as the day to have my Christmas gift shopping complete. I also like to have it all wrapped and tagged
so it is ready to go under the tree when we set it up. I avoid “Black Friday” shopping like the
plague.
There's nothing worse than Black Friday! Even if I am half as organized as you this year, it will help me enjoy the Christmas season so much more. Thanks for your detailed tips!

I am so glad these posts are helping you. Stress free (or as close to it as we can get) and enjoyable holidays is the only way to go.
