Ready.... Get set..... Let's go!

It's January...
We have exactly 352 days until Christmas...
BUT! There are only 327 days left until CHRISTMAS will COUNT!
So... here we go...

This month it is all about getting organized!
So, take a minute, grab a note book and pen and then take yourself to a "quiet" location and let's start the plan.
First you will need to think back to last month...
Make a list of all the things you LOVED about the month.
Once you have that done, make a list of the things that you would like to have done differently.
THEN, make a list of the things that you wanted to do - but just didn't get to do...
and last... make a list of things that were missing... things that you need to replace... things that need updating etc.

Here is what my list looks like...

Things I loved:
Night of Gingerbread houses
Getting the decor up early - longer time to enjoy
Festival Of Trees
Dance recitals (its kinda required :))
hmmm... that's about it... so sad!

Things to do differently:
Wrap gifts as they are purchased/made - not on Christmas Eve!
Spend more time doing "family" traditions
Not staying up all night - every night of the month
Sleeping through Christmas morning
Stick to a budget
Not be so GRUMPY!
Enjoy more family time!

Things wanted to do/should have done: (but didn't)
Seeing Christmas lights
Christmas Movie day
Baking
Candy making

Need to update/add:

So, go ahead, get your book and start working on that ...
