    Talking

    Nothing ready, but we were just talking about it today, we are going to stockpile stuff for pies, presents, (we don't do much in the way of candy, we don't eat it), turkey, etc. Can't wait.

    98 days to Xmas I really need to get busy.

    I just have ideas rattling around my head. I am a bit nervous for Christmas this year.

    Since we do our Christmas in Disney World, the most important thing for us is to have our reservations made. Resort, dining and other reservations for the trip are all taken care of.

    I have all of the gifts for family members and friends bought, but need to wrap them. My kids have not decided what they want, so when they do I'll get those. I also still need to sign and address all of the Christmas cards. Other than that, we are ready.

    Wow Neeley, Christmas in Disney.

    Thus far, all I have done is sort through the finance end of things and begun the ball rolling in terms of savings for Christmas between SO and myself. I've also began saving for his present separately.

    The most exciting thing has been thinking of new recipes for baked goods to try that will suffice as presents for friends and family. Haven't been overly consciously considering it, I just can't help it. The latest is a Rum Cherry Gateaux that I know will be put to good use in my closest friend's house this Christmas.
    2012

    Savings:
    £800 / £2000 by June for Paris holiday
    £1950 / £2600 by July for P-W Savings

    I've bought a few things on Amazon so far. A few DVD's and books I think might be appreciated. Going to try and start spending a little each week now, so it won't be a huge shock come January. Hannah
