Ideas for Christmas Planning
With the Christmas holiday season comes a host of extra chores to get ready for the holidays. There is decorating of the house (both inside and out), decorating the tree, planning menus, sending out cards and invitations and of course lots of shopping. To really enjoy the holidays, I think it is important to be organized and plan ahead.
Over the years I have belonged to Squidoo, I have written many pages on getting ready for the holidays. On this page you will find links to all of my holiday pages. Whether you are looking for the perfect tree ornament, a good Christmas book or a great party appetizer, you will find those and much more.
I hope these ideas will help you to plan for your Christmas and you will find time to relax and enjoy your family and friends!

Christmas Food and Serving Ideas
Food for the Holidays
festive ways to serve
I love to cook for the holidays! I start baking cookies months before and planning out menus for our gatherings with family and friends. I also enjoy unpacking all of my Christmas dishes to use over the holiday season and each year I add something new. Here are the lenses I have done around food for the holidays.

Decorations for the Tree
Christmas Tree
I started collecting different ornaments for our tree when I was first married. Over the last 40+ years I have gotten quite a collection. I thoroughly enjoy unpacking the ornaments each year and remembering the where I got the various ornaments. I hope you enjoy my ornament lenses

Christmas Cards and Invitations
Christmas Cards and Invitations
I always enjoy sending and receiving Christmas cards. I know in this electronic age many people do not send the paper cards anymore, but I hope that it is a tradition that will not fade away. Each year I save my cards and when I am preparing to make out the cards for the coming year, I review last years cards. It is fun to read the notes from friends and family.
Gifts for Everyone
Christmas Presents

Relax and Enjoy the Holiday
Time for Yourself
Christmas peace
Now that you've work hard getting ready for the holiday, make sure you take some time to enjoy yourself. I find a good Christmas novel is a way to slow down, relax and enjoy the holiday.
