Christmas Eve is 8 weeks away! Those weeks will pass faster than you can imagine. In the last few weeks, we’ve made lists and taken inventory. This week, we’ll start focusing on preparatory tasks:

• If you are hosting a party, get save the date notices out. December weekends fill up fast, so you want to get on peoples’ calendars.
• Carefully review your budget to make sure that you have enough saved to cover your holiday costs. You should NOT finance your celebrations with credit. If you don’t have the savings, you still have time to make cuts.
• Make reservations and buy tickets for holiday travel.
• If you are making gifts, start your crafting now so you can take your time.
• It’s not too early to start shopping!
