June 2023 Rudolph Day

[sweetpumkinpye]

Just shy of 6 months until Christmas...can you believe it?
I start to feel just a little panicked around this time of year when I realise how quickly Christmas will be here.
Here are a few things that I will be working on this June Rudy day, I hope you all join in.

*Look at your Christmas menu. Take your planner and a pen and start getting ideas together. Maybe set aside a shelf in your pantry and start purchasing some items for your holiday meals.
*Double check gift and stocking lists. Have you got an idea of what you will be buying this year? Make a start.
*Is there anything that you would like to achieve over the Summer months that will make the lead up to Christmas easier?

Here are my picks for this Rudy Day, I hope that you enjoy.

Book:

"The little town of Branding Iron, Texas, opens the Christmas season with the Cowboy Christmas Ball, but Sheriff Ben Marsden volunteers to work security so his deputies can attend with dates and families. But this year will be different because a pretty and mysterious redhead has come to town and put Christmas--and loving--on his mind"--


Movie:


At a holiday masquerade ball, fledgling event planner Angie Wells and wealthy playboy Nicholas Karmichael, who needs to marry to retain his inheritance, meet and fall for each other anonymously.


Baking:

Ahh I've had a mild bout of burnout/panic about the impending Christmas prep season lately. It's mostly trying to plan the planning.
Your links and suggestions are brilliant

Some very interesting pics here. Thank you! Will see if I can find the book and movie, and some of the crafts ...

Can't wait to see the prep of the lady, always interesting to see how others do it and it gives us ideas too.

I watched the YT video yesterday & bought the book on my kindle to begin reading tonight.

Laura, Janet Dailey has a series of Christmas books and they are all pretty good IMO.. You may find more to your liking.

Can’t wait to sit down and investigate everything. I know I have that movie to watch. Husband and I were just talking about Christmas prep and my cleaning plan for this year so I’m very interested in that video.

Thank you, Katrina!
A great list!

Halfway, there, Y'all!

Love this! I need to check to see what may be available at my favorite farmstands that, perhaps, I could purchase in-season, preserve or freeze, and have ready for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas dinner. Thanks for the reminder!

 

[Lolwlias]

I haven't started the book yet, but I watched the movie, the YTer, & am trying the recipe tonight after work. I looked at the crafts & since there are printables included, that might be it for me! LOL Actually, I want to do the pinecones too.
I won't forget my Kindle today so I can get going on reading.
