Christmas Eve is one month from today. So think about how you want to celebrate this year and get moving!

• Work on your Christmas cards. You want them in the mail no later than December 15.
• Start your shopping in earnest. With so much more needing to be shipped – from both the store and to the recipient — you’ll want to finish earlier than usual
• Mail gifts as early as possible, but definitely before December 14^th.
• If you have some time, wrap the presents you’ve already bought.
• Start your decorating. You may find it easier to do a little decorating each day. It breaks up the work and you get the joy of watching your house be filled with Christmas.
• Begin finalizing your menus for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Eve.
• Decide what cookies you will bake.
• If you are making any gifts, put in serious amounts of time this week.
