Today I got today there are about 7 weeks til the dreaded C word. Yup, that’s right 41 sleeps until Christmas!!

Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing a range of Christmassy posts with you. Some will be gift ideas, some will be crafts and of course there will be food!

To get us started I thought I’d share with you all a site that has helped me over the last 2 Christmases to be a little more organised (& not doing the shopping all in the last week before Christmas) – Organized Christmas

Organized Christmas is an American site so it is focused around their seasonal happenings and holidays (like Thanksgiving) but it’s pretty easy to adapt to wherever you live. I’ve been working through the Christmas Countdown which is a six week Christmas organising plan. The site also has the Rudolf Club (on the 25th of each month “take a few moments to plan some simple tasks for the month ahead, in order to get ready for Christmas Day with plenty of time to spare”), the Housework Holiday Plan and the Holiday Grand Plan.

OrganizedChristmas.Com – Get Organized For Christmas!

What are you doing to get organised for Christmas?

(well it was actually yesterday but I was busy)
OMG really? It can’t be that close already can it?

This year I’m aiming to try and be a bit more organised. Last year I had all the pressies bought weeks before Christmas and it felt great. This year I hope to do the same, especially as we’re having an early Christmas with the in-laws.

This year I’m going to be following along with List Plan It’s 100 Days to Christmas

(I’ll most likely still use Organized Christmas like last year too)

Are you organised for Christmas or do you leave things til the last minute?

Taking a break from creating layouts atm.

Congrats to Ruby & Kylie for being picked to join the Roll 2 Create Design Team. Looking forward to working with them.

Will be back after Christmas with some new layouts.
