I can't believe it will be the fourth Rudy Dady of the year!
I plan on going through my Gooseberry books.....always my plan, rarely happens.
My parents bought the kids a Christmas cookie decorating kit on clearance after Christmas. I think I'll let the kids decorate the cookies.
I'm also hoping to wrap up some Christmas presents :)

I will focus on a Christmas movie, my felt popsicles (see the one I made on my blog)... I have at least a dozen to make.. I need to see EXACTLY how many I have to make, and then a hot chocolate would be great. for me it'll be Monday the 27th and I'm hoping for a RAINY & WINDY day ...

That is a work day for me, so I will probably enjoy Rudolph day on my day off next week...need to clean up craft room where most of my Christmas stuff is, and see what I have already stashed away...would also like to knit the DGDs something this year, might explore that...and of course watch the movie!

I'm looking VERY forward to Rudolph Day tomorrow!

I'm going to go pick up the movie tonight to watch and want to do something festive meal wise.

Am ready to feel some Christmas Spirit!

I hope you all had a great April Rudolph Day! I was very Christmas-productive today - not sure where the burst of energy came from but I was very thankful for it. I started out by updating my ornament inventory which meant going through a few tubs to log everything in and then labeling the tubs once they were sorted. That led me to updating the Décor pages of my planner and I had hoped to get my whole planner organized because I have sadly neglected it. However, the 2015 pages will not be available until sometime this summer so I had to be content with printing the non-date-sensitive pages and adding them to my planner. It looks so good and really got me thinking about the budget, holiday entertaining, and gift ideas. I put my planner together while I was watching The Santa Clause so that really put me in a festive mood.

Speaking of the budget, I found this great resource to help plan for Christmas spending:

Is anyone as excited as I am that the Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Dream Book comes out on Monday? I'm really thinking about joining the Collector's Club because they've had the book for a week! Definitely an incentive to become a member.

I love Christmas-themed books! Would you please share the titles and authors? One of the Christmas Planner Divider Pages is Media - Movies, Music and Books so that reminds me to catalog my collection - it would be so nice to have everything listed in one place.

I will list them later tonight but I know one is called The Dog Named Christmas (I believe Hallmark channel shows this movie) and one I just finished reading was the latest version of the Chicken Noodle soup for the soul Christmas edition. I am sucker for those books :)
