Christmas Organization

Right about now, I start to panic… too much to do and only two and a half weeks to do it. However, if I sit down and devise a plan, I always seem to feel better, a little less stressed. Having a plan allows me to work the plan and not feel as though the plan is working me.

 

So here is my plan for the next three weeks: 

         
1.     Finish decorating the house by Thursday 

 

Here is my poor undecorated tree in the living room. 

2.    Finish Christmas shopping… My goal is to finish by Saturday.

3.    Wrap presents – Saturday is set aside to wrap all the presents.

    8.    Christmas Cards sent – I am in the process of addressing the cards, it should be done by this weekend.

        
9.    Party Invitations sent – I have not even started this but will accomplish it by Saturday 12/10

That should take care of the holiday. We have parties and friends to see but I am pretty well ready for those. How are your holidays coming?
