In a perfect world; we would have started holiday preparations in mid-September, at the latest! But; since the world is not perfect and we didn't, let's go from zero to 70 - in a matter of seconds! The tasks can be broken down by the week, or the day(s)! You choose!
1) Got a planner, yet? Get one, pronto! [A spiral binder will do just fine, thank you very much!] Set a budget!
2) Gonna take family photos? Do an outfit check, any day now!
3) Get holiday videos and music together!
4) Set up a wrapping/mailing station! Get mailing boxes, and wrapping essentials together: an assortment of boxes, scissors, wrapping paper, holiday bags, tape, bows, ribbon, etcetera!
5) Draft a Christmas card list, get Christmas cards, draft holiday letters, get holiday stamps!
6) Decide what to cook! Get those recipes and ingredients; especially the spices, together!
8) Check flatware, platters and decorations! And speaking of decorations, where are they? Will they be put up; some or all, before Thanksgiving? The day of? The day after? For somebody's sake, how about the weekend before? I'm just saying! And; of course, this means clean/clean/clean! Some; but not all folks, like to have a cleaned out and ready to add to refrigerator and freezer in anticipation of a whole lot of goodies! Makes sense to me; but yikes, do you have little or no time? Enlist the help of as many others as you possibly can! It is; after all, a family & friends affair! If push comes to shove, wipe everything down as best you can and let it go!
9) Check the gift list, a-gain! The week of Black Friday; if not several days before in some instances, is an excellent time to score deals! Why wait until Thanksgiving Day when you don't have to? Then and again, Cyber Monday is the next best thing! Use both to your advantage: http://www.blackfriday.com ; http://www.cybermonday2015.com/! I think I'm starting to understand why gift cards are such a hit!
You can always get your holiday shopping done with us! [Won't you be glad when home and/or drone delivery is more the norm than not? I could go for: some of that!]
Holiday gifting!
Thaaaaank you!
Happy Friday!
Shalom!
