Week nine of Holiday Cheer.....

This week....before December happens...set up date night with your spouse. Trust me. Go to dinner, no kids. The holidays are so busy and we tend to not take time out for ourselves let alone each other.

Look at your calendar and how fast the days are filling up. Make sure you have extra canned foods for holiday light events. Keep them in your car. Look for your local Advent Walk. Mark when your churches holiday specials are. Look up local soup kitchens and volunteer. Kids will have parties. Be prepared for $5-$10 fast gifts....I normally do a gift card or fun socks.
In between holiday fun, we still go to work and kids go to school and have activities and practices. I try and keep "normal" in my house.
This week....I have parties coming up and dinners. I finalize any small gifts I need. I look over any foods I need to prepare and go over my Baking Day ingredients. I make sure my kids have their fun Christmas Pajamas so they can wear them all month. If you have parties coming up make sure you have your outfits together for them. Also if you have kids coming home from college..make sure you have their favorite foods stocked up. 

Hugs,
