Happy2bme I like your idea of growing your holiday movie collection by buying a movie each month.
My 2010 Rudolph Day Focus
- Thread starter Gingerbug
- Start date
There are several old favorites I have that are still on VHS....I really need to finish converting to DVDs....cause I hate the old tapes...yikes!! By the time I convert...they will have something new out...
Ginger I too have many Christmas movies on VHS that needs to be converted to DVD. That's a project I can work on in 2010. Thanks for given me that thought.
Love this! I don't have tons of movies, and there are more than several that I want to add to my collection...great idea!
My 2010 Rudolph Day plans, I have figured out that without something solid written down, it just won't happen!
Jan. Christmas Notebook organized/Budget planned
Feb. Organize tearfiles/ideas to implement
Mar. Crafting/finish holiday house sewing (curtains etc.)
Apr. Crafting/2010 theme ornaments
May Crafting/gift focus
June Crafting/window mirror/bulletin boards for oldest daughters
July Organize outside decos./repaint, make something new?
Aug. Menu planning/recipe organizing
Sept. Gift & stocking stuffer lists made/ Open house party plan??
Oct. Outside lights up (move to weekend after halloween?)
Nov. Christmas letter & cards
Dec. CELEBRATE
At this point this seems quite doable, we shall see as life progresses...

Music, of course!
I think I will concentrate on checking out some of the vast selections from Christmas music that I added to the collection this year on each Rudolph Day, January through October. I must have downloaded over a hundred hours of out of print Christmas records shared out by several alumni of www.FaLaLaLaLa.com.
I hope to be getting back into Merry Christmas Radio with a new ‘Mistletoe Mix’ show per quarter. Of course I’ll be spinning some of the tunes I sample! If I can coordinate with the program director, a new show will debut on Rudolph Day in January, April, July, and October.

i LOVE IT that this thread is chugging busily through January! There is a lot of enthusiasm here -- for keeping Christmas ideals as organizing principles -- throughout 2010!
I have not yet gotten to the Christmas Notebook. Ds#1 will be here through Monday...... so I certainly will not get to it until after Monday. O course, we are viewing his visit as a continuation of Christmas 2009.

Rudy Days 2010 - My Preliminary Plan
Jan - debrief family, clean out NB and organize new tear files from 2009 magazines. Start family photo calendar for next year.
Feb - Make gift lists, budget, etc.
Mar - start planning CiJ boxes, print out forms, etc.
Apr - Plan Magic Elves activities
May - Menu/baking planning
Jun - Plan/start gifts from the boys
Jul - CiJ!!!! Mail CiJ boxes. Watch tons of Christmas movies, listen to Christmas music (even in the car) all month long!
Of course, to each month I should add Watch 1 Christmas movie (at least). I like the idea someone posted about wearing Christmas socks on Rudy Days,too!
I'll keep working on this. thanks for the inspiration!
