I'd like to buy more presents throughout next year and save a little each week for just Christmas. A little planning goes a long way. We hope to relax during December too. Thanks.

No shopping to do at all. I make fudge & caramel corn for a family gift and send cash to nephews. We're down to our last two nephews out of 27! (After college, they get cards!!). I'm making my cards, as I have for....wowza! 23 yrs. now! I bought the stamps earlier this month. We don't do a tree, but our house lights are going up on Friday.<br /><br />It's funny/odd for me to watch everyone hustling about. I feel completely disconnected from the giant Christmas machine!! No stress, no rush, nothing. We'll do our Advent candles, attend Mass, watch a few movies, and that will be that.Debby in Kansashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09545875556174022019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-6266861325722626492017-11-23T09:19:54.790+11:002017-11-23T09:19:54.790+11:00Great tips, thanks Wendy!Great tips, thanks Wendy!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00529619038642018119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-57597087606053910192017-11-23T04:59:11.141+11:002017-11-23T04:59:11.141+11:00All under control.

Tick, all ready to go. Fruit for the cake is soaking and I’ve noted the days I’ll be making the cake and feeding it etc. Food organised as we have started purchasing as we go.<br />During the mad rush I too will be at home all ready and doing other things instead of rushing here and there.<br />KylieHome Is My Havenhttps://homesmyhaven.blogspot.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-74224679675700968432017-11-22T21:49:42.281+11:002017-11-22T21:49:42.281+11:00We put our tree up 2 nights ago.

My Christmas cash has all been saved up and we now do secret Santa across the family and I give each person $150.
