Week 10 of the Holiday Planning Notebook


First:  Check your Holiday Planning Notebook budget.  Are you on budget?  Should you add some or take some away from your budget?  Evaluate how your plan is working so far...any improvements you can consider in your planning or clean up if so, make note of it now for next year.

Next:  Did you campout or stampede the stores with the other bargain hunters anticipating the best prices for Black Friday or join the Cyber Monday discount shoppers fingering their way to great deals?  Let's hope you kept your Holiday Notebook Gift List in front of you and were not drawn in to bargains you did not need or plan for.

Christmas Preparations:

By now you should have put away your Thanksgiving decorations as well as tucked away in your notebook many special memories to be visited next year!  Many of you have begun or finished your Christmas decorating, if not, try to set aside time this week.

Wrap all your Christmas gifts and place them around your tree or gift table.  Check your list to see if you have missed anyone.  Make note of all upcoming events and have your recipes ready when needed.  Mark them off against your event calendar.  Prepare for any new invitation or unexpected surprise events.

Family Green Christmas Project:  Why not make homemade gifts for Grandma & Grandpa!  Many grandparents love homemade gifts from their grandchildren. This can be a fun-filled family night too!

Cleaning:

Although most of your time this week will be devoted to putting Thanksgiving decorations away and bringing our your Christmas things; be sure to tidy up every room - giving 15 to 20 minutes per room.  Keep your Brightly Green cleaning basket close at hand; making you an efficient, cleaning machine!  Look for great green cleaning specials this month at Shop Brightly Green!

Next Week:  Putting it all together.  Crunch Time!
