Carol's Testimony - 2003

I think I joined Christmas Organizing back in '99. I was struggling with depression  and my entire life was unorganized. I was looking for help to get organized when I came across Christmas Organizing. Thinking, talking, and sharing about Christmas, and planning for Christmas all year long sure sounded like fun to me, so i joined, and have never been disappointed. I tried other organizing groups, and other Christmas groups, but they were so rigid and non-interactive. CO has always been so friendly and like a family; all members ready to help with any request. And the basic concept presented that broke down big jobs into handleable tasks was also easily applied to the rest of my life.  Nobody's perfect, but I have certainly come a long way with Christmas Organizing. Each year the tasks become a little easier, I'm a little more organized, and I get done a little sooner. This in turn allows me time to make things even better, and to relax.

In closing, I'd like to ask....have you ever wished you had some of Santa's elves to help you get ready for Christmas? Well friends, I have found my elves. They are: the Christmas Organizing group and site, my Christmas Organizing notebook, all the helpful members of our group, and our selfless leader, Krisann. This group has truly been a blessing for me.
