Christmas Eve is 9 weeks from today.  This week in the countdown is a catch-up week.  By the end of the week, you should have devleoped:

• Your budget.
• Your holiday calendar.
• Your lists (Christmas card, gifts to give, gifts to receive, etc.)
• Your travel plans.

If you find yourself with extra time, start your crafts, paw through your recipe file, and check your inventory of wrapping paraphernalia.
