This week’s goals could be titled “A Procastinator’s Christmas To-Do List.” In our house, we try to keep Christmas preparations simple -some music, a tree, movies, fasting, St. Nicholas Day celebrations, and family. This week I’ll be doing some of the more detail-oriented tasks that need to get finished before Christmas next week (next week!). How about you? Are you an early planner or a last minute doer?

Oh, don’t you worry! For as much as I’ve been planning all year, I still have plenty to do as well! The tree is finally up and decorated, but the bins of decorations aren’t back in the attic yet. I’ve made 2 batches of buckeyes, but still need to make at least another 2. And most of the Christmas presents are purchased, but they are spread over the spare bedroom floor, waiting to be wrapped. We still have 10 days! 🙂
