Hey loves. It is hard to believe Christmas is 44 days away. My kids every morning ask Alexa how many days until Christmas. To say they are excited is an understatement. They have already started asking when their Elf friend, Gusgus and his friend Snowflake are coming back, wanting to drive around and look at Christmas lights, decorate our house, etc. The happy memories, the twinkle in my kids eyes, the excitement for Christmas brings my children and me so much joy.
Since I am not allowed to decorate until after Thanksgiving (one I live with a scrooge, two we host Thanksgiving for over 20 people and we don't have the space for 3 trees, a long formal dining room table, and all the things) I try to have as much done and/or prepped before Thanksgivings so we can relax and enjoy the holiday, as well as the crazy schedule that comes along with it. Here are some planning that you can do advance.
