How To Get Ready For Christmas Early

 

Christmas is fast approaching. This is how you get ready for Christmas now?

Now is the time to get it all together, earlier and smarter.

To start make lists.

Lists are awesome.

Use them everywhere.

I have a small chalkboard where I quickly write down things as we run out of them, then I add them to my phone.

I have papers over the table with things that I want to get done.

How to get ready for Christmas now:

Make your gift giving list

Know who you are going to buy for, and any ideas on what you want to buy for them.

Start saving

Start setting aside any extra money, separate from your everyday money to make sure it doesn’t get spent.

Anything laying around that you no longer use: sell it.

Maybe pick up an extra (freelancing) job.

Check your supplies

Do you have enough tape, wrapping paper and cards?

You don’t want to run out in the middle of getting wrapped and ready for giving.

Christmas decorations

Need new lights, stockings or Santa decor to get ready for Christmas?

It’s best to know ahead of time to budget for this expense.

There are many reasons why it’s important to start thinking about your Christmas decorations early.

For one, it’s important to make sure you have enough time to get all the supplies you need. If you wait until the last minute, you may find that the store is sold out of the specific items you need.

In addition, if you’re planning on making any homemade decorations, it’s important to give yourself plenty of time to complete the project. Otherwise, you may be left with a half-finished decoration that won’t be ready in time for Christmas.

Finally, if you’re planning on putting up any outdoor decorations, it’s important to factor in the amount of time it will take to set them up.

Outdoor decorations like custom winter inflatables can be quite elaborate, and if you wait until the last minute, you may find yourself rushing to get everything done.

By giving enough time to design your inflatable, you will have a blow-up that will blow everyone’s mind up.

By starting to think about your Christmas decorations early, you can avoid any last-minute stress and ensure that your home is decked out for the holidays.

While the best time to buy these is after the holidays for BIG savings, we all end up needing something unexpectedly.

Create your budget

How much do you plan to send one to each member of your family.

Don’t go over your budget!

Be strong.

Also make sure to consider any gifts that you have to ship as it is expensive.

I use an Excel spreadsheet to keep my purchases in line, what I bought, for who, and how much it was.

Handmade items

What do you plan to make yourself – cards, cookies, gifts, etc.

Get started now and don’t delay.

Store what’s been made and freeze those extra cookies or pies.

It is easier and more efficient to increase the recipe.

The more prepared for the holidays you are , the less stressed you will be.

Last but not least; we are 100% sure that planning ahead will get you relaxed to enjoy the holidays with your family and friends.
