I suppose I should sit at some stage and make my Rudolph day plans.Something to think about this weekend. I also add the wrapping party dates as planning days if I have nothing to wrap. Lots of fun days ahead.
Listen to Christmas music Make a Christmas tree ornament Make a Christmas treat to eat - dessert/cookies Watch a Christmas movie w/hot chocolate & a candy cane One of the ladies here donates food to the food bank on Rudy Day - I would love to begin that tradition
I am going to try and use the 25th or the closest weekend to really put some effort into plans and organization. There is not enough time in December! I have a bunch of projects I want to work on ALL year. All the Focus items are great. I plan on doing all of them at some point this year.
Since I have things packed and that is also my closing date on the house. I will check out Christmas on Pinterest. I have my ladies group at my house this year at Christmas, so I want it to be spectacular. Or at least nice!!
Since my packing is done I'm committing to getting my Christmas Planner updated and usable for this year. I barely used it this year.
Pamela, you can start a thread if you want for the 2017 movies. People can add their names & movie suggestion
We have a company that sets up things at our school periodically. They set things up yesterday. So tomorrow I am going to do some Christmas Shopping. They have the big square copper pans that you see on the infomercials on tv for just $49.00. Thinking I will get all the girls one of them. Yay, Christmas shopping on Rudy day!
Happy Rudi Day!!! I am off to my mums. We will debrief a little more about Christmas 2016 and will stat our planning for this year. Our plan will be to decide what theme or colour we will use for the Christmas table, and we will decide on what baking worked and what we might like to try this year. It will be a great day.
