Laying in bed last night, my mind drifted to Christmas. Then the panic
set in. It's almost September, which means Christmas is right around
the corner. I am a planner. Usually by this time, I have lists made,
days scheduled and at least half my presents bought and stored in my
closet. I hadn't even thought about it until last night and I feel
behind already. It seems the older I get, the less time I feel like I
have. The days haven't gotten shorter and neither have the weeks months
or years. So why do I feel this way? Needless to say, I couldn't
sleep until I had at least started my list. I will just quickly share
how I set up my spreadsheet and maybe you too can get a jump start on
your holiday planning.
Its really basic. My Column Headings are:
Recipient Gift Bought Wrapped
Whenever someone gives me an idea of what they want, I just enter in and once it is bought, I place a check mark in that box. It is amazing how checking off those boxes can make you feel accomplished.
Hope this has helped you out a little bit, I know I feel better and am online shopping as I post this. I am having camera issues so that's why I haven't posted anything new lately. I do have an awesome Fried Chicken recipe to share and in preparation for my Bunko hosting duties next month, I will be trying out a bunch of other new recipes. Stay Tuned!
