Christmas is only two weeks away. Keep your preparations on track by doing the following this week:

• Finish up any present shopping you have left to do. This is not the year to be in the stores on Christmas Eve.
• Make final decisions about what you are baking and about your menus for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day (breakfast and dinner), New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day.
• Place orders for holiday meal components (if ordering out) and grocery shop for all baking and meal non-perishables.
• Finish up your decorating.
• Start your wrapping.
• If possible, finish up your Christmas crafting.
