It's that time again - time to take a look at your Christmas planning!! You have 1 month from today until Christmas - so you really should start to look at the lists and things you have started already, in order to have enough time to get it all done! Taking a bit of time now to make the things you need to - will only help the stress level THEN!!! If you go and purchase a bit of extra flour, sugar, and baking goods - your finances are not going to take a huge hit closer to that time!!!
Also start to look at layouts you might do for your photos that you take at Christmas time - look for ideas as you are looking for other ideas - and start to write and sketch them down on paper! Look for handmade cards you like so you can do the same thing! Plan a shopping trip to pick up what you need - and get a few things started!!!
The times are really hard right now - money is just not there - so for those gifts for friends and family - make something special for them instead - allowing you to spend the money you need to on your children! You don't need to spend a ton of money on your gifts - for my sisters birthday, I spent more on the shipping to get it to her house than the gift I made her! But yet the gift was not just 1 thing, but 3 different things that were made for her!!!
So - your challenge for the month - finalize your gift list, and your cooking list, any schedule time for parties you are going to. Make sure you have enough time to finish up projects, get baking done, and time spent to mail what needs to be done. Make sure you grab your calendar, schedule time for your parties, time for visits, and time for shopping to get everything done! I have enjoyed this time with you in getting the Christmas season rolling for you! It certainly has helped me in making my plans a bit more!
