I don’t know about you, but each year I have such good intentions of doing so many fun things for Christmas that never end up happening.
My problem is that I think of fun things, but I don’t make a plan. Well, this year is going to be different. I may not get everything accomplished, but I will have a plan. 😉
Since most of our Christmas traditions begin on December 1, I will highlight one item per day for my 25 Days ’til Christmas.
My 25 Days ’til Christmas
1 – Take a Christmas museum tour.
2 – Decorate our home for Christmas.
3 – Read the Christmas story.
4 – Start making gifts for my children’s classmates and teachers.
5 – Begin wrapping gifts.
6 – Place remaining on-line orders for gifts.
7 – Watch a Christmas movie.
8 – Assist with Sunday School Christmas Party.
9 – Prepare packages for mailing.
10 – Continue working on gifts for teachers and classmates.
11 – Mail all Christmas presents to friends and relatives.
12 – Bake Christmas cookies for school friends.
13 – Package gifts for my children’s classes.
14 – Deliver packages to school.
15 – Wrap more presents.
16 – Drive through town looking at Christmas lights with our Wendy’s Jr. Frosty desserts.
17 – Finish shopping for stocking stuffers.
18 – Wrap stocking stuffers.
19 – Bake Christmas cookies.
20 – Bake Christmas goodies.
21 – Wrap Christmas goodies for delivery.
22 – Deliver Christmas goodies to neighbors.
23 – Attend Bethlehem Revisited – a reenactment of Bethlehem at the time of Christ’s birth.
24 – Distribute the “Reindeer food” in our front yard.
25 – Read the Christmas story and celebrate the birth of Jesus, my Savior.
With a list of only one item per day, I am excited at crossing these items off my Christmas list. As some of these items occur multiple times, our family can adjust this list as needed. Now, I shouldn’t forget to mail the packages or send the goodies to school. 😉
As you prepare for the holiday season, consider writing down your Christmas list. With one item per day, you can accomplish your list leading to 25 Days ‘til Christmas. Happy planning and deciding!
