start my Christmas shopping/gift making early so I can avoid last minute stress

Hopefully after today I can say I’m all done. I just have a couple gifts to buy today and one more package to send out. I’ve wrapped almost everything. Even though I’m not completely done, I’ve been doing enough every day so my goal of not getting stressed over it all is being achieved :)

on this, but before I go much further, I really need to make a list of who I’m giving to. I make alot of candy and cookies that need to be done closer to Christmas. At first I set a goal to ‘make all my Christmas presents’, but that’s just unrealistic. I have quite a few children on my list (not that I won’t make them cookies and candy), but I’m sure they’ll get a toy too :-) – and I make cookies for my own kids all the time – they would not be impressed. We’re actually thinking of going to Disney next year so we will tie that into Christmas somehow.
