- Order Christmas cards. Choose a photo, then make the impossible decision of choosing the perfect card from a million choices. Have cards in the mail by December 5.
- Order gift tag labels using the deal I bought on One Kings Lane weeks ago.
- Make salt dough gift tags.
- Decide on a cookie to bake for my mother-in-law's cookie exchange.
- Create a menu of appetizers and desserts for our Christmas party.
- Shop for gifts. Stop short of buying all the things.
- Consider the benefits of buying Bubette's big gift on Black Friday, against the pain of actually shopping on Black Friday.
- Completely out of order, go shopping for our post-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving dinner with friends.
- Decorate. Hang the lights, put up the tree. (I'm putting this on the list for the express purpose of crossing it off. We're done. Tree up and decorated. Lights hung. Congratulate my husband. I was completely overwhelmed by the mere sight of the boxes in the garage. )
- Advent calendar - my mom called today and she already bought, AND filled with prizes, an Advent calendar for the kids.
- Set a date to walk the best decorated neighborhood in the area.
- Bake. Bake until the idea of baking makes me want only salad and water for the entire month of January.
What's on your list?
You're so good for having a plan! I really need to get on that myself.

ReplyDeleteIt seems obvious at this point that every single person in the universe (on the internet) is more organized than I am.
