Christmas in July!

It's already more than halfway to Christmas. The assignments for today are to finish up stocking stuffers and to make Christmas cards. Both of these things I like to do at the beginning of November. Sure I grab some stocking stuffers along the way if they call out to me, but in our family we go to the trial size area (Target has a good one)and we buy trial sizes of things we know people like and a few new things to try. Anyway, one trip is all it takes to be done with stocking stuffers. The Christmas cards I like to do at the beginning of November when it's getting cool outside and I already have my cards because I usually buy them on clearance.

Over at OC the assignment is to pick a holiday plan. I always do the Holiday Houseworks Plan and the Christmas Countdown. I like the Houseworks plan because it seems to go in a room order that's better for me over the Holiday Grand Plan. I find more things don't pertain to me from the Grand Plan, but I do peek at it as it goes along. I always change the order a little bit because I do the living room early so I can change the slipcover.

Today I'm going to update my Christmas gift list for Hubby and watch a Christmas movie hopefully.

Update: I've made my Christmas list current, I ordered Hubby's big gift today and I updated my adresses for Christmas cards. Watching A Christmas Carol now.
