I've mentioned before that I'm in a Christmas mood. Ready to bake, ready to craft, ready even to address my Christmas cards! I'm usually pretty organized for Christmas. I try to have my gifts all bought by Thanksgiving, and the day after Thanksgiving is my traditional day to address cards. I schedule our December as far in advance as I can, working in a visit to Cincinnati and several baking days along with activities at our church. The last few years, we've been trying to spend more time at home, or at least in town, because with all the different productions, displays and events going on that we like to go see, we could easily find ourselves on the road every weekend in December.
This year I'm trying something a little new. I found a website, www.organizedchristmas.com, that looks very interesting. There are organizing plans on there that promise to help you "simplify your holidays and celebrate the season." There are lists for everything you can think of and a lot of things you wouldn't have! There is a 6-week plan and The Grand Plan and Houseworks Holiday Plan actually start next week!
I've looked things over and decided I'm going to start the Holiday Grand Plan. While there are plenty of checklists and calendars to print out, I'm not going to use all of them; I have other organizational materials I use routinely that will work just as well. I'm interested to see how this works out. I'm all for anything that results in less stress, and hopefully less stress will result in a better attitude and an increased focus on Christ during a season that should be all about Him anyway.
