Happy Rudolph Day!
I have become addicted to checking out the live cam from Santa's Village! Yesterday there was a man walking around taking pictures.

BillieJo- Rudolph Day is a day to do something to get you ready, organized, thinking about Christmas. So, we are planning and preparing the whole year through. It's also a way to celebrate the holiday by doing those Christmas activities that we usually save for that time of year.
That's why we pick a book and movie.

The original Organized Christmas site listed a task for each Rudolph Day.

I'm not sure what February's was. Does anyone remember?

Hello! Thank you so much for your reply. I am enjoying reading through so many things here today, all while listening to some Christmas music!

It's Begin a Holiday Letter. I guess you could start a Word document and make a note on your calendar to add to it every Rudolph Day. That way you don't have to remember 12 months of accomplishments, travel, gatherings, special occasions come December. LOL, who had any of those things to write about in 2020? Special occasions maybe like new additions to your family, special birthdays or anniversaries but most likely not any special celebrations of the aforementioned.

So many ideas. Glad we have Rudolf Day to extend our love of Christmas. Would be sad to limit it to just December.

Lucie, thank you for the list!
I spent most of my day cleaning my sewing room but that’s ok. We did watch a Christmas movie during the evening.
I need to update my gift closet list as I have fallen behind with that.
The Santa village live feed is fun to watch. Can’t wait to see it closer to Christmas.
I am born and raised in Ohio and had no idea there was a town named Rudolph!
Annie, thanks for the great post.
