I’m sure you’ve been seeing the signs of Christmas everywhere you look. Stores have donned their Christmas decorations and holiday music plays merrily in the background reminding you every minute of what is coming. And, although Thanksgiving hasn’t yet arrived, we are well aware of the rush that is nearly upon us.
Planning ahead for your Christmas holiday gives you freedom and flexibility to enjoy the things that matter most. It gives you extra time to enjoy memories being made, family traditions and the ability to do things you really want to do – like being with your family and blessing others. And, most importantly, it gives you the opportunity to take the focus off of busyness and put it back on Christ, which is where it belongs in the first place.
I’m starting a series called “12 Days of Christmas {Planning}” to help you get a jump on organizing and planning out some of those things that make our holidays special. Each day for the next 12 days you’ll find new posts on such things as:
Downloadable Christmas Lists and Gift Tags
Book Recommendations
Ideas on Starting New Traditions with your Family
Favorite Recipes
Gift Ideas (Including a Huge List of Stocking Stuffer Ideas)
And Lots More!
