How to Get Ready for Christmas?!

Have you ever loved Christmas but you didn't know how to get ready for it? It is easy when you tackle it in an organized and methodical manner. Here are some suggestions to help ease the holiday stress.

Step 1:
About two months in advance, start organizing a Christmas gift list. Write down tentative gifts for family and friends.
Step 2:
Start a Christmas Club account at a bank or credit union. Bank the Christmas gift money and then shop in late November to early December before the Christmas shopping rush hits.
Step 3:
In November, purchase and start writing Christmas cards. Write a Christmas newsletter. In the US check for mailing dates. In general most letters and packages must be sent by late December for first class mail for domestic locations. Military postings should be sent in early December.

Step 4:
Decorate the house with holiday decorations in early December. Some people like to put some of the Christmas decorations by late November, but if this is done try to keep the decorations low key. Add more Christmas decorations as Christmas gets closer.
Step 5:
Decorate your house. Put up lots of lights both inside and outside. Use commercial and handmade decorations inside the house, especially in the living room area where everybody will gather. Don't neglect the dining room - there should be such things as Christmas themed candle holders and wreath decorations.
Step 6:
Bake cookies as needed. Make sure to make these by hand. Share cookies with friends.
Step 7:
Plan a cookie exchange in December.
Step 8:
Approximately one week before Christmas purchase perishable food stuffs. Leave enough time to defrost the turkey, if preparing.
Step 9:
Put up your Christmas tree. Some folks like to put up the tree on Christmas Eve some do not. It all depends on family traditions.
Step 10:
Decorate your tree with ornaments, tinsel and lights, placing a special star on top of the tree.
Step 11:
Spray the inside of the windows with the artificial snow.
Step 12:
Search the Internet or library for Christmas carol sheet music. Get the music from CDs or by downloading and practice singing Christmas carols for Christmas Eve.
Step 13:
Go caroling. On Christmas Eve, use your practiced singing to delight the neighbors. Be careful not to sing to the wrong people.
Step 14:
Make Christmas baked goodies. Cookies, Christmas cake, stollen and other delights.
Step 15:
Frost some Gingerbread Men with family and/or friends.
Step 16:
Purchase an advent calendar. Use it from December 1st.
Step 17:
Invite friends over for a holiday meal or party.
Step 18:
Leave a plate of cookies near the fireplace on Christmas Eve.
Step 19:
Be sure to place treasured bulbs out of reach of children and pets.

Step 20:
Drink eggnog with or without rum!
