92 Days to Christmas + Holiday House Prep

I didn’t post yesterday because I didn’t do it.   There again, the reason you should not only be following me, but also 100 Days to Christmas.  If I don’t do my work, then I don’t post. So, today I am supposed to be coming up with a list of the people I am sending Christmas Cards to.  Plus, since I lost my address database, I am going to have to look up addresses.  Uggh!  This time, I am compiling the addresses on paper instead of relying on the computer.   I made one of my tabs “Address Book” and put some printed address pages behind it.  I also have a sheet in my spiral notebook with “Names of people to send cards to” at the top and have been jotting down people as I think of them.  As I put their complete info on the addy list, I mark out their name.

You can find some printable address pages here:

HOLIDAY HOUSE PREP –BONUS CHORE

Last night I had DH pull down our Halloween stuff.  Is yours down yet?  Do you have decorations to put up?  Mine will go up next week.  We don’t have much, a rug, 2 blow ups, a table cloth, and a cute little pumpkin girl (which just dawned on me, was not in the box DH pulled down.  That means we have another box up there.  Oh, he isn’t going to be happy!  LOL!)

Anyway, your Holiday House Preparation chore for today is to look through your Halloween decoration, costumes, etc.  Does anything need to be repaired?  Does it need to go in the trash?  Is it not going to fit anyone in the house?  Do what needs doing.  If it doesn’t fit anyone sell it on eBay, give it away on Freecycle, or take it to Goodwill.
