| 8 Weeks to go:
Calendar: mark down all holiday related dates and events on your calendar  and make
a separate holiday calendar to use as a planner (one is provided within)
Shopping List: fill in Christmas Gift List sheet divide list by eight, and pick up that number of gifts per week, or divide by pay periods, and pick up that number per pay period. You may want to keep a separate list for immediate family members, and a separate one for stocking stuffers. Note your budget for each person.
Baking: make a list of all of the holiday baking you want to do. If Christmas cakes or puddings are on your list treat them as separate from your other baking, and purchase ingredients and bake those now so that they can age deliciously. Decorating: check last year's Post Holiday Notes to see what items you need to purchase, and what you purchased after Boxing Day. 7 Weeks left: Calendar: now is the time to decide what family events you want to include in your celebration and get them on your calendar. Don't let other people's priorities overwhelm you! Shopping: purchase any gifts that must be mailed and get them wrapped and sent get on track with your listcarry it with you to record more ideas and cross items off as you purchase them
Shopping 2: if you are catalogue shopping, check the "order by" dates for Christmas delivery and note these on your calendar Baking: make a shopping list for your baking pick up all non-perishables, and ingredients for items you will bake and freeze within the next 4 or 5 weeks.
Decorating: pick up anything you may need while the stores still have lots of variety available. 6 weeks away: Calendar: make sure any medical or dental appointments are taken care of before the Christmas rush Shopping: keep plugging away at your Christmas list! If you need to mail any gifts, it should be done by this week. Shopping 2: keep up with your catalogue or on-line shopping. Baking: if you have items that freeze especially well they could be baked now and put into the freezer until needed. Decorating: put up your outdoor lights it probably is still mild enough to manage this job without having your ladder in snow. You can plug the lights in later.
