Hmm, as I read this month's list I realize that none of it applies to me. I don't use Shutterfly, Snapfish, or Vistaprint. We don't "do" holiday pj's. I don't typically make Halloween themed Christmas decor. And I don't give Halloween candy as stocking stuffers.

What I will be doing this month is:

1. Order Christmas postcards.

2. Begin writing annual Christmas letter.

3. Shop at Hobby Lobby every week. If I don't, everything sells out before I get a chance at it! Our Hobby Lobby has had Christmas out for weeks and the shelves empty as fast as they can fill them.

4. Start my Christmas Baking list, buy ingredients each week.

I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping. With all of the uncertainty in our lives with the new house and our current house being on the market, I'm trying to get everything done so I'm ready to face whatever comes my way. Since I don't even know where I'll be living for Christmas, I don't plan on decorating. If I can, it'll definitely be last minute! I'm feeling good about my progress toward a stress-free Christmas...

 

Here we are... another month closer to Christmas!

 11) I am busy stitching away on Christmas stockings for my DIL's nieces. I have decided which craft the Grands will make their parents for this year. 

12) I don't drink wine, but this one made me laugh!

13) I have an advent calendar system I made for the Grands a few years ago, but won't use it this year as we're in the process of selling house.

14) Now this I will do. I tried it last year and it worked great!

15) I only have four more people out of my little family of 14 to buy for. The rest is bought, wrapped, and stored temporarily in a closet.

How're your Christmas preparations coming along?
