To help you stay organized for Christmas and at Christmas, try keeping a Christmas journal. This journal will have two main functions. Its first purpose is to keep your thoughts throughout the year about the upcoming Christmas season. Second, it will help you remember special things about your Christmas celebrations. Let me explain…
Lets me start with the first purpose: Keeping your thoughts for Christmas
As we live day to day from January to December, we will find we have an idea about something we would like to try for Christmas. Weather it be a recipe, a new tradition, somewhere we would like to visit or eat, be sure to write it down in your Christmas journal. Often times we have these grandiose ideas and we let them slip away because we did not take 30 seconds to write them down.
So, as the year goes on and we move days closer to Christmas, be sure to write down your thoughts. You will appreciate it later.
Second purpose: Keeping up with what worked and what didn’t
OK, so for Christmas last year you tried a new dish. What was it… was it the new iced tea recipe or the blueberry pie recipe? Then, you revert back to your Christmas journal: December 25th, 2008: Tried a new Rhubarb pie recipe. Family hated it and the dog turned up his nose at it. Ah, that was it I wont make that again!
See how helpful that was?
So this year as you go through the Christmas season be sure to write down the things that seemed to work with your family and the things that did not work. It will help you out in years to come!
Buon Natale!
