Uh Oh...!

Ok, I have made a very intentional effort this Christmas season to RELAX...and to be honest, I have done a pretty great job. I haven't stressed about decorating, gifts, Christmas cards, etc. I have not felt the overwhelming crunch of having to spend, spend, spend, and most days and evenings have found me right here at home with family...where I like to be. A much calmer and quieter Christmas season than I have known before...

Until Now!

It is just now starting to dawn on me that I have spent so much time being relaxed about it all, that I haven't gotten things done! I still have about, oh...95% of my gifts to purchase and/or make, and wrap! I haven't done anything about Christmas cards, neighbor gifts are just now crossing my mind, and I have yet to take my 2 year old to sit in Santa's lap!

What?!?!?

I've got to get my act together!

I'm going to try to stay calm.

Tonight I'll design a digital Christmas card (I have fun doing that!).

Tomorrow I'll force...I mean ASK...with authority, my kids to pose for a Christmas picture...should be a nice bonding time!

Friday is my Mother's Day Out, so I'll make out a list of what has to get done during that time. One store for Caylie's main gift, another store for Christian's main gift, another store for Carson's main gift, another store for craft supplies for some other gifts. Maybe the grocery store too.

Crafting and wrapping over the weekend.

That's do-able...right???

Monday morning we can take Carson to sit on Santa's lap at the mall...when it will not be a madhouse. Smart.

It's time to get this ball rolling...at least I have a game plan!

Hmmm...any ideas about simple but nice neighbor gifts...haven't quite figured that one out yet!
