So, here we are with only 10 days left (after today) to get ready for Christmas. Or in my case, I only have 7 because my mother- and father-in-law are coming up next Saturday to celebrate with us.
::sudden overwhelming feeling of panic sets in::
I have found that the best thing to do when planning for a big event is to take some time to sit down and write out some lists.
Here’s what I am going to go do, after I post this.
- Print out some Christmas stationary. (From this site)
- Make a nice cup of tea.
- Hole-punch the stationary and put it in my binder.
- Make a cleaning list.
- Make menus.
- Gather recipes (or a list of recipes to gather).
- Make grocery list.
- Make a list of gifts for each person (bought and yet to buy)
- Make a list of what I need to make or finish making (for gifts).
Whew!
That may sound like a lot, but once I make my lists (and check them twice?) I know I will have some serious peace of mind.
