It’s How Many Weeks Until Christmas? – FIVE

Author: Elizabeth

Yikes! It’s only five weeks until Christmas! It’s probably too late to start putting $50 a paycheck into a Christmas Club account at the credit union, right? Dang it.  Every single year, I tell myself that NEXT year, I’m going to start saving right away, and every single year…I don’t.    A couple of years ago, Chris and I instituted a policy that each kid gets two gifts – one from us and one from Santa – but I almost always break that rule by sneaking in a few extra gifts here and there. I can’t help it! I just love that look on their faces Christmas morning when they see the packages under the tree.

I haven’t even thought about gifts for my parents, my brother, Chris’ sister, all of their kids, our Grandparents.  And now I just realized I haven’t even thought about Christmas CARDS…GAHHHHH.   I’ll just try to forget the fact that last year, we posed for a Christmas card, I got a bunch of photo cards printed out at Walgreens, and then NEVER SENT THEM. Ahem.

So I decided I’d better find a way to get organized, so I did some Googling. Here’s some links I found that might help me (and you!) stay on top of everything between now and Christmas:

Six Week Christmas Countdown from Organized Christmas (okay, so we’ll have to skip ahead :) )

Facebook Christmas Countdown App  (38 DAYS? Somehow five weeks sounded longer, yeeesh!)

WordPress Christmas Countdown Plugin

How about all of you? Have you started shopping for gifts? Thought about cards? FIVE WEEKS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!

    Costco has a coupon/sale on their holiday cards. That’s a new one – could be something to look into.
    I’m still quite unsure whether we’re going to put up a Christmas tree this year because of the impending move/insanity and such… Gifts are mostly done I suppose, but then again, other things have been taking priority lately. *sigh*

    I love preparing for Christmas and have made some presents, decorations and cards already. I’ve had a rough day so I wanted to do something to prepare to Christmas tonight after work.

    There is no need to remind me of when Xmas is since my 5 year old started the countdown as soon as we came back from our holiday, bless. My problem is coming up with new ideas for presents that don’t break the bank!
