Making a List and Checking it Twice...

finish neighbor/teacher/friend gifts




address Christmas cards

mail Christmas cards
{I got my Christmas cards this year from Costco...14.99 for 50!!!  Such a good deal and it includes the envelopes too!  I think I'll be ordering from them again next year.}


hang up Christmas cards


I was so grateful that my kiddos played together so well today and allowed me to get so much done!
{Trust me...that does NOT usually happen.}
It feels so great to cross some of these things off of my Christmas to do list.
As Christmas gets closer and closer I want to be able to focus more on the reason for the season rather than all the things I want/need to get done.

Sooo...I'm hoping to cross off everything else on my to do list by the end of the week.

Still on my to do list:

* Wrap Presents {haven't even started this one yet!}
* Make a list of things to buy for our big Christmas Eve Dinner
{can't believe I just put "make a list" on my list!!!}
* Finish making/buying Stocking Stuffers

The things on these kinds of lists are sooo much more fun to do than the things on regular day to day to do lists!!!

  1. I love how you are using these for neighbor gifts. I'm going to put this idea in my file for next year.

    You have a delightful blog.
