(This is my mother who would kill me if she knew!)
Cousin Nancy sends in more ideas this week to help keep us “perfectionist procrastinators” on top of the upcoming holiday season…
Thanksgiving is less than 4 weeks away and Christmas less than 8! Look at your calendar of Holiday Timeline at least once a week. Tweak as needed & get some things done now instead of later. Guests coming over the holidays? Some thoughts:
- touch up painting, house pressure washed
- clean baseboards, ceiling fans
- thorough dusting…bookshelves, backs of doors
- re-arrange furniture for a fresh, cozy look/feel
- check light fixtures and lamps for sprucing up…new shade? light bulbs?
How about your shopping? Make a gift list now. Check out Mary Louise’s garden gift list. Don’t forget teachers, coaches, babysitters, etc… Christmas card list? Start addressing envelopes & create a rough draft of your “Holiday Letter”. The Goal? Get it done before Thanksgiving. All these little things you can do now so you’ll relax & enjoy the holidays…
Thanks cousin Nancy!
Blessings from the Garden.
