What's done...
*Tree and wreath up. Decorations out on display. Have paired down quite a bit on the decorations in the house. There are items that come from family that are a must every Christmas. I have a thing for Christmas tradition. There are the sleigh bells from my father-in-law's sleigh, a ceramic Christmas tree from my mother-in-law, the angels candle choir from my mom, the Christmas tree topper that was a favorite of my dad's through out my childhood until his death, a large wooden handmade creche from my husband's family, and My Christmas village which my husband adds to every year as a gift.
*Gift ordering done.
*Dinner menus for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day done. Along with all food purchased and schedule for cooking times written.
Still need to do...
*Baking
*Gift wrapping
*Holiday dishes washed and set aside for the big days
My family finds it terribly amusing how organized I have become but, to me, with organization comes a stress free holiday.
And a stress free holiday means more time to enjoy Christmas movies, Christmas music and time spent with the most important people in my life...my family.
