Storage week:
•Status check. This week, review where you stand with holiday prep. Crafts projects and homemade gifts should be finished soon; check for any missing catalog or online orders. Will everything arrive in time? Only craft project I want to do is Christmas art journal. If I have time I'll think of something else but not an obligation.
•Begin family Advent observances. Advent begins on Sunday; begin family observances now. Not doing this
•Invite a Magic Elf to visit. Will a magic elf visit your home this year? Check out this simple, sweet family tradition. The elves arrived yesterday... they come about once a week with a simple gift.
•Complete holiday decorating. Inside and out, work to create a lovely holiday home. Try to complete decorating chores by week's end so you can relax and enjoy the season. Will get done this weekend - tree needs trimming & nativity village needs to be done.
•Finish gift shopping. It's time! Complete gift shopping this week. aarrrggg! been wanting to stop by the store for the last 2 weeks but dh is with me and he doesn,t want too!! I have to go ... hopefully tomorrow? (fingers crossed).
•Wrap gifts as they are purchased. Every little bit helps, so wrap ahead where possible--you'll avoid a long, rushed session of "get-it-done" gift wrapping! Will wrap more this weekend
•Package send-away gifts for mailing. Mail deadlines loom! Be ready to mail send-away gifts by the end of the week. None
•Mail domestic gifts. Just say "no!" to lines at the post office; visit USPS.Com to purchase postage, print shipping labels and arrange for carrier pick-up with the Click-n-Ship program--all from the convenience of home! None
•Order the Christmas ham, roast or poultry. Your meat market will thank you for ordering before the rush! DH needs to call his aunt so she can prepare the 'tourtiere' for Dec 31st.
To add to the list:
- Start baking!!!!!
- Mail Christmas cards
