less than 200 days and counting...

Now is the time of year when I get serious about Christmas planning. My goal every year is to be completely shopped, wrapped, baked, and decorated by Thanksgiving (unless I'm serving dinner, then I decorate the day after).

My husband and I had a serious conversation about Christmas gifts a few days ago and we decided on an idea that we've been mulling around for a couple of years. I can't tell you what it is in case some of my kids read this blog, but I will tell you that it is going to make gift-giving very easy this year. I've started purchasing some stocking stuffers and am collecting recipes for baking.

I'm also spending some time thinking about the annual family Christmas party; games, goodies, white elephant gift exchange... I can't wait!

What about you? With Christmas only 198 days away are you starting to plan for a stress-free holiday?
