It's the Christmas Countdown!

Let's kick some items off the To Do list early!

So, it's October, not even Halloween, not even Thanksgiving, but domestic divas are ahead of the game.  To make a start with your holiday preparations, consider doing the following:

Start a Gift Ideas list noting sizes, color preferences, brands, favorite activities and any hints you have picked up

Order and purchase your Holiday Cards.

Make a list of your favorite stocking stuffers and keep an eye out for them when shopping.

Make a list of hostess and vendor gifts you need to buy.  Purchase non perishable items.

Write a family newsletter to send out with your card.

Purchase your holiday paper goods, gift wrap, tape and ribbon.

Address and stamp your holiday card envelopes.  Check international mailing deadlines!

That's a great start!  Next time you are in the stores you can smile at the Christmas Displays knowing you've got that handled already!
