Be prepared for Christmas well in advance of Christmas

success :)

must do this next year too…

So I’m counting this one as done now. All the main stuff is done now and there is still 2 weeks to go.

Not doing too well on this one.

Ready for the cards.

At least thats one thing done.

Time to refocus on this goal.

Must do a wrapping paper and card audit to see what I need to get. and do a new list of receivees. Made some new friends this year to add to my list, and some new babies have arrived who I want to buy presents for it being their first Christmas.

My Christmas shopping is nearly finished, with a last big push this weekend :D The shopping streets of Amsterdam are getting busier already, so I’ll be very glad to keep away from them as Christmas gets nearer!

It’s already September!!!

And I saw a load of Christmas stuff in the shops already.

I need a plan!

Limited funds and just too much going on right now. It’ll probably be online shopping right before Christmas like usual. I’ll try again next year.

I’m aiming to have all my Christmas shopping done by 15th November this year. I’ll take everything back to Scotland that weekend, and then I’ll just have my normal packing to carry when I leave Amsterdam for good on 14th December.

Wrapping can wait until I get home, because I’ve got lots of paper and decorations and things there already.

to be incredibly prepared for Christmas 2007. One thing I will do is to buy things throughout the year that I see that are really suitable for my friends and family and keep them in my safe place.
