The end of Thanksgiving always signifies the beginning of Christmas for me. I absolutely love Christmas but it is so easy to get pulled in so many directions with Christmas parties, decorating, crafts, cookie baking, and so many other Christmas/season to-dos. With so much going on around me I try to get as organized as I can and get my present buying, wrapping & card sending done as soon as I can so that I may actually enjoy the Christmas season & the friends, family and everything else that come together.
To get myself organized I have started a binder that is basically a fancy-schmancy to do list. The biggest & most helpful lists for Christmas prep are the lists about cards & presents.
Cards
who I sent cards to
address to send cards
who sent cards to me last year - should I add them to my list this year?
Gifts
gift budget
list of gift receivers
ideas of gifts
What are your biggest tips, tricks & secrets while you prepare for the holidays or to host an event?
I'm linking up with Maggie at Gussy Sews this week, you can too!
I love to-do lists...they are a life saver this time of year!
