Christmas is four months away! For me, this is crunch time. It is time to make travel plans, menus, gift lists, ornaments made, new decor planned and the house cleaned. I will be deep cleaning every weekend from now on, and that will be quite the task since I have college classes one Saturday each month. I will have to be organized and follow my plan!

For the past several years I have not purchased anything new for decor, choosing to use what I had and to mix it up so that it looked new and fresh. I don't see that changing much, but I did purchase a fresh wreath for one of my doors. Last year we bought a 12 foot tree for the living room and this year I don't have a dining room to decorate. I will be rethinking how to use the lovely things I have for the dining room throughout the house!
Looking forward to hearing plans from the rest of you!
No dining room?
ReplyDeleteThis is crunch time for me, too, but I feel like I've got a great start. I am theoretically done with stocking stuffers, but of course I know I'll buy more. I'll save the jerky/sunflower seeds/ candy til much closer to Christmas, and I always find little things that simply MUST be bought at the last minute. I do have plenty of fun and clever things, so I feel like I am done.
Cleaning...sigh. My intentions are always to follow the plan, but I seldom do. At least this year I have a medical excuse.
I need to finish my ornie swap ornaments, get started on my cards, and pray that the Good Lord will give me a great gift idea for my Mother-in-Love.
Happy Rudolph Day!
I too am trying to clean out and make room for all the new goodies that santa will bring. I am also starting to find new recipes I want to add to my chocolates I give away!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to hear that we are 4 months away from my favourite day of the year! I can't wait to see all of your decorations over the next few months.
