To Do This Week:

[ ] After Halloween, replace decorations with Thanksgiving-themed decor.

[ ] Divide the Christmas card list into five groups. Write and address one group this week.

[ ] Make a holiday budget. Work together with your spouse to set a comfortable level of holiday spending. We make it easy with our printable holiday budget worksheet.

[ ] Divide entries on the master gift list into five groups. Begin shopping for Christmas gifts, and try to buy one-fifth of the gifts this week.

[ ] Set up a holiday housework plan. Print our chore checklist. Post it publicly and hold family members accountable for delegated tasks.

[ ] Print several copies of the master shopping list to speed errand days. Group to-buy items to make shopping trips easier.

[ ] Make a family wardrobe check. Fill out the family wardrobe planner, and put any "To Buy" items on your shopping list.

[ ] Do you keep a gift closet, adding new gift items year-round? Take inventory now, before you shop for holiday gifts. Use our printable gift closet inventory to track stored gifts.

[ ] Establish good health habits to cushion you and your family from holiday stresses. Focus on regular bedtimes, proper diet, mild exercise and stress reduction. Schedule self-care appointments in the holiday calendar.

[ ] Make a tabletop check;. Inventory serving pieces, table linens, china and flatware. Check store flyers for sales, and add needed replacements to the shopping list. Will you be ready to set a pretty holiday table?

[ ] Schedule family haircut appointments.

[ ] Inventory stocks of wrap and mail supplies with a gift wrapping checklist.
