A Very Snowy Christmas - 16 Weeks For An Organised Christmas - Week 1

 

Welcome to week 1!!! It's time to get started for our organised Christmas.

We're going to start our Christmas planning by making a couple of lists, so treat yourself to a nice new notepad or Christmas planner. You can browse Amazon's planner selection here. I'm also going to be giving one away in the next giveaway too!!!

Let's start with your Christmas card list. Write out all of the people you usually send a card to. Make sure to include family members, both close and extended, friends, work colleagues, neighbours, children's teachers etc. Now, once you've got everyone on that list read through it and mark those that you'd usually buy special cards for with an S (for special) or a star. Keep the list safe as we'll go over it again next week.

Next, you're going to write out your Christmas gift list. When you right this list out you'll need to make sure you have four columns. These will be for the recipients name, the gift, budget and what you've actually spent. Make sure everyone you usually buy gifts for, include those you might usually forget and buy last minute, like teacher gifts, a tin of choccies for the binmen or treats for the family dog. Again, keep the list safe as we'll go over it again next week. 

Week 2 of A Very Snowy Christmas will be back next Monday and we'll be going back over those lists and aiming to reducing them down as much as possible. So, have a think...........do you have a relative that you only see to exchange Christmas gifts? Have a lot of your friends stopped sending Christmas cards and put a message on Facebook instead? These are all things to think about before next week.

I'll be back soon.
