How are you with Christmas cards?
I love to have them ready and posted ready to go out the day after Thanksgiving.

First: I shop for holiday outfits and buy Christmas stamps from the post office. (You can see seasonal shopping suggestions in the 'shopping bag' tab above.)
Second: I go though my Christmas box and grab any cards I bought on sale last year, or I look around for online sites where I can create fun cards.
Third, I plan holiday photos. Now is the time to make an appointment if you are having photos taken. And if you take your own I have a few ideas for fun cards here: fun Christmas card ideas.
And then this weekend, I go through my address book to make sure I have all the addresses I need. I know someone has moved or do not yet have their address I make it an excuse to call and visit with them, or at least contact them on facebook or by e-mail. (You can see more about how I manage this address list here: My Christmas card address list.
