With Thanksgiving's late arrival this year, it is going to be vital for me to be better prepared for Christmas than usual. My intention is to share with my dear reader friends how I intend to take baby steps in preparing for Christmas this year, as well as a few suggestions that may apply to you, too.
My goal is to post a few ideas each week to help stay on track without being too focused on the busyness that comes with Christmas.
