Unfortunately I do live with a couple of people who like their stuff if it was just me and the little ones we would have a lot less in the house.<br />No I dont follow a plan I will have to check it out. I do this purely because of previous bad experiences of not being organised enough.<br />You are ahead of me I picked up a book yesterday for one of my sons and I have a few books for my daughter. I saw something today for my daughters bedroom but I didn't have enough change on me and I didn't want to break into a note. <br /><br />I also use my normal shopping money for the extra bits for Christmas. It will be lovely to hear how you are getting on xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09115867384994231717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1182070173188665602.post-71802753740401004162016-09-07T11:55:17.055-07:002016-09-07T11:55:17.055-07:00I love how organized you are with your Christmas p...I love how organized you are with your Christmas preparations! I used to go all out with decorations, etc., but I am trying to scale back now. But I do start making my gifts fairly early, although I don't shop until later.

Do you follow an on-line program like "Organized Christmas"? I try to follow that program. I don't stick to it very well, but I think it helps me. I have already been picking up little gifts for the Advent calendars and stockings. I would have already started wrapping some of those except for my resolve not to do anything in the Craft Room until it is organized to my satisfaction. Soon I will start picking up crackers and baking supplies as they go on sale. I don't hide them, but anything that I place in the buffet is NOT to be touched. I just use my normal household budget to purchase any special holiday ingredients. <br /><br />I would love to follow along with you in the next three months. I will do any reporting if there is anything to report.

Its only really me that notices what is bought because I have a large box in the garage and as extra juice, crisps, crackers etc. arrive I tend to hide it in there and no-one is any the wiser.<br />I don't out the Christmas tree up until the weekend after we break up from school but knowing I am organised just stops me from losing the plot.

I was discussing this with my mum the other day and I told her I thought I was a bit of a control freak. She reckons I get this from her. <br />Brilliant forward thinking about the Christmas buffet. <br />I will be trying to bring in healthy options for me. I guess a metal pole is better than nothing. Perhaps you could put festive bows on the kittens xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09115867384994231717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1182070173188665602.post-87604509344067281582016-09-06T02:54:39.198-07:002016-09-06T02:54:39.198-07:00wow, I start buying for christmas after bonfire ni...wow, I start buying for christmas after bonfire night and as for food shopping, just buy extra bit's for christmas throughout December and christmas week, just swap normal food we buy for christmas food, it is hubby's birthday on christmas day so he chooses what christmas cake/tins of goodies etc we get and I do the usual weekly Tesco online shop, for us if we start too early then by the time christmas comes around it doesn't seem exciting or special any more, but one thing we try to do is buy a real tree, just love the smell, Jo xJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11307151386938476266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1182070173188665602.post-73185499393509590432016-09-05T19:18:00.912-07:002016-09-05T19:18:00.912-07:00You leave me speechless with your organization, de...You leave me speechless with your organization, despite it being the 2nd year that I follow you through this period!<br />My plan is... that I have no plan. I understand your need to organize everything in advance, but I refuse to get stressed about Christmas in September. My birthday is in early December so I usually don't start really thinking about Christmas until after that. All I know is that I told everyone that this year I'm not doing a Christmas buffet because I'm on a diet and I want to take it seriously and not overdo it during the holidays, and I'm thinking that we 3 rambunctious kittens we might need to not have a tree either. Maybe we'll celebrate Festivus this year, since all we need is a metal pole :) Good luck with everything!Nathaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654610295436446555noreply@blogger.com
