Christmas Progress

A day of semi-frantic Christmas prep activity.

Got done:

1. Got the stockings hung (with great care). Got the Advent Calendar hung (and filled in for the days we were late).
2. Found last year’s list of gifts given; created a cleared list to start inserting items.
3. Sifted through last year’s “got a card/gave a card” list. Built this year’s list.
4. Listened to Christmas Carols in the background.
5. Ordered Christmas stamps online.
6. Finished this year’s Christmas Letter (more about anon).
7. Printed the Christmas Letter.
8. Rubber stamped the Christmas Letter (Katherine did this!)
9. Dug through the loft for the paper cutter.
10. Finished the Twelfth Night invites.
11. Printed the Twelfth Night invites. Stamped (Katherine again!). Cut. Folded (with Katherine).

Still to do (Real Soon Now):

1. Get new transparent label stock (Avery 5660).
2. Receive Christmas stamps (by Friday).
3. Print address labels and return labels.
4. Write Christmas cards. Insert into envelopes. Figure out how to fit Christmas Letters and/or Twelfth Night invites into little cards we bought.
5. Stamp cards. Send.
6. Finish going through catalogs. Determine gifts.
7. Order gifts.

Whew. Is that all? Looking good!

Note for next year: out of paper for the Christmas Letter and Invites. Doublecheck label stock.
