"Kick off November in grand style!" That's the advice from my writer friend Marcia McClure of Monument, Colorado. With each newsletter I receive from Marcia, I realize why she's such a hot topic in "Romance Writing". She's so attentive to the details of life. Her energy is contagious! But what does that have to do with Christmas Shopping?
While the rest of the world is still struggling to get their plans in order for Thanksgiving, you could be organizing Christmas for a more relaxed and enjoyable holiday season. Here are some suggestions of things you could do early to be ready for the holiday season.
· Wrap and package all gifts you'll mail before Christmas.
· Bake some extra "stuff" to freeze for gifts later.
· Start now to make some of those delightful hand made wonders, your family and friends all enjoy.
· Clean the house and prepare for Christmas decorating.
· Consider painting any rooms that need freshening up before Thanksgiving.
· Get all your snow removal and fun equipment ready NOW.
· Do the winter chores early.
· Send out the linens for professional cleaning.
· Rearrange your china cabinet to make Christmas serving dishes readily available.
· Wrap all the gifts you've shopped for and label them for under the tree.
· Collect wrapping paper and ribbon accessories in preparation of a marathon wrapping spree.
· Order greenery early (Boy Scouts are sending out orders now for December delivery).
· Order in books, games, movies, and entertainment for the season now, so it will be waiting for you during the holidays, when you're ready to enjoy.
These are just some of the early things you can do to speed up your decorating efforts through the season. Make time for more fun by getting the work done early.
