In this crazy year, it’s hard to believe that Christmas is only three weeks away.  But pandemic or no, Christmas will, in fact, come.

So here’s what you need to work on this week to be ready:

• You should finish up your cards so that they are in the mail no later than December 15^th.
• Any online ordering of presents should be completed by the end of next week. You need to allow for coming up with a Plan B in case of backorders and small parcel delivery is running behind, so things may not arrive as quickly as usual.
• On a similar theme, any presents that need to ship should go out in the next week to allow for delays.
• You will want to at least begin decorating your house. If you have to stay home, you might as well do it in a beautifully decorated house. Doing a little bit each day makes it easier.
• If you are crafting any gifts, you should have blocked out time to make serious progress this week. You don’t want to be pulling all-nighters the week before Christmas.

You will note that I did not mention finalizing travel plans. That’s because you should stay home and stay safe!
