What do I do now?

I picked up my Christmas list today to see what else I need to get or make and found out "I'm done." I was also shocked to find out how disappointed I was at being done. I have never planned for Christmas before. I don't know what to do for the next two months before we decorate. I'm glad that for the first year ever we have stayed under budget. But where do I go from here? I almost feel like I have nothing to do with the cold fall months.

What to do

Do what I do - start planning out ideas for NEXT year - I love to freak people out in December when I am shopping and they say - just now getting your shopping done and I say - NO - I am working on next year!  It is priceless and fun to see their faces.

Have you wrapped all your gifts?  That is the stage I am at now - wrapping and tagging everything and then placing it back into the gift closet.

I can come up with more things if you need them . . . decorations, start a new craft that you can use as gifts next year, create a Christmas Memory Jar to use this year, work on a Christmas scrapbook or picture album,  . . . .

Thanks Krisann. I am done with wrapping, they are all boxed up to be mailed, and back in the gift closet. I did that today. I love the idea of shopping now for next year. I think I'll do that. I also think I will make some decorations for the house (you can never have too many). What is a Christmas memory jar? Thanks again!!
