    Default Getting Ready for Christmas - Thanks for the Inspiration!

    Well, I have never done this before--until I found you guys!

    I actually am starting my Christmas shopping and Holiday planning in October!!!!

    I have done some shopping, both in the stores and a lot online. It is amazing how much stuff can be bought online at a discount.

    I had lunch with my Dad today and we decided on the plans for Thanksgiving and Christmas! Normally with our family it seems like Christmas is a race to see everyone and we all end up exhausted and stressed out!

    I feel like this year I have helped my entire family get started early so we can all be ahead of the game!

    I am actually excited about Christmas now! LOL Normally I dread Christmas because of the stress.

    I wanted to thank you all for inspiring me to create my own Master Holiday Plan!

    p.s. Is there a special place on this site to post things about the holidays and our planning?

    Betsy good for you.

    You might want to put the information you have in the forum "Beyond the Picket Fence" where all the stuff is for Christmas.

    I would love to hear your holiday plan.

    Good idea!

    We can set goals of what we want to get done and by when.

    I hope to have all gifts purchsed before November 15th. I hope to have all Christmas Cards ready to mail (addressed & stamped) before December 1st.
