House & Holiday Plan 2104
- Thread starter aggy
- Start date
It's nice to see more are joining in. I was so busy last week that I forgot about the plan. I had a little panic moment thinking that the HHP started this week and I was already behind. Glad to see that I have a few more days before it begins.
I got those cookie kits put together and I'm so glad that I did. The school schedules are starting to trickle in and I forgot that Thanksgiving is late this year.
As for how I handle the Christmas notebook, I do like to have something written but I have to be careful where I put it down. Sometimes I put my lists in my email draft folder so I can read it from my smartphone if I'm out and about and I see an item. I can double check sizes, etc.

I printed all my pages today. I'd already done it for the HGP, so I reprinted and pulled the others. I'll use many of the same sheets, but the rest is done! I like that it starts out with basically planning the first two weeks, because I have the next two weeks to get my daughter back to college and then I'm good to go.
I was feeling so motivated and anxious to start the countdown, that yesterday when I got home, I went straight to the spare bedroom and started dusting off my desk and bookcase. Then I went through my checklist making sure I had all my tools/supplies needed for the holiday season. All my Christmas books, recipe books, planner, Christmas cards, etc. are at the ready. Anything I didn't have like ink for the printers and postage stamps, I added to my master shopping list.
I'm really excited this year!
I feel so much better than I did last year. I just hope I can keep up this momentum. I think I will.

Awesome, Aggy!
I've committed my no-tech nights (Tues and Thursday) to working on the holiday plans and cleaning out my storage room.

Michelle, Aggy & Mary, you gals are a hoot. I cannot wait to begin with such an amazing group of friends. Aggy, hold off on those stamps. The holiday stamps will be coming out in the next few months.
Michelle, that is a terrific idea putting your lists in your draft folder on your phone's email. I think I might try this. I try not to carry a big purse at any time and especially during the holidays. It makes me feel like I have a target on my back when I do. Can you tell I was mugged before? LOL I wasn't hurt but it was a good lesson for me.
Only 4 more days till we launch the HHP!

It is almost time!!! So excited!
I printed off some new pages for my notebook. I am doing the countdown on my blog. Will list the "things to do" on Monday and throughout the week show my progress.

Seems like everyone is ready!
Annie - I like your way of thinking. So much could be done if there was no-tech... even for a few hours!
Can't wait for the thread to start for this 1st week.

DD and I were talking last night and I told her how excited I was that the HHP was starting this Sunday. She said, "Already?? Wow!!".
Somehow we got on the topic of food and in 15 minutes we had our Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Years's Eve menus planned.
How cool is that???

Nice job Mel. You have started a tradition in your family of early Christmas planning with your DD.
After looking throught his plan I think I'm going to try to find a way to combine it with the HGP & do a combination of both HGP & HHP.
I am enlisting my dd for help. (She doesn't know it yet.)
I am a week behind due to a knee injury & being on crutches, but now I will start full force.
