Less than 4 weeks til Christmas is what Cousin Nancy from ATL
is telling me…LISTS! Here is what she has to say…
Time to get serious about planning for Christmas. Having a strategy
will take the pressure off and minimize stress!
- Guests coming? What needs to be done to get ready?
- Christmas away? Get the gift list together & shop, Cyber-shopping today!
- Gifts to be mailed? Do so before rates go up!
- List: To do & To buy & Miscellaneous for odds & ends to remember
Here are a few more items to remember, break into small chunks of time(try www.e.ggtimer.com)
- Focus on decorating- your kids will remember this & ask “when are we putting the decorations up?”
- Cleaning- Get real about this…what can you hide or slide?
- Wrapping/labeling
- Christmas Cards- a few at a time, keep on Word/Excel file and save to “Christmas Jump Drive”…
- Meal planning…try shopping & cooking one day a week, don’t forget the Crock Pot!
- Have “Emergency” items handy- toothbrushes, toiletries, guest room tidied, Stain kit, First Aid kit, extra small gifts for those you might have let slip!
Thanks Nancy!
Blessings from the Garden…
