Christmas Things I Must Get Done This Week

I leave pretty much all my Christmas things until December every year so I am no stranger to rushing around to get everything done.

In fact I actually quite like it. This year though I have no idea how I’m going to get it done. With my Grandmother still in hospital (yes this is still ongoing from July) I just don’t know where the time is going to come from.

I always take a week’s holiday from work to get sorted, I have again this year which is a bonus, but I am at the hospital from 1.30 until 8 everyday.

Here’s what I have to do:

Get The Decorations Up

Usually, I put the lights up and get everything prepared on the Sunday afternoon, then spend Monday from about 9-7 and Tuesday from about 9-4 getting them all up and putting all the boxes back away.

Write The Cards Out and Get Them Sent

This one isn’t so bad, it’s only a couple of hours. I still need to buy stamps and the family cards first though, so I think the buying presents will happen first and I can get cards and stamps while I’m there.

Buy and Wrap The Presents

Usually this entails a full day out of town shopping followed by the night time wrapping them all. This will now have to be split over 2 or 3 days.

Sort The Charity Things Out

This one isn’t so bad – I can incorporate the kids charity presents into my present shopping day. After that I only need a quick food bank grocery shop and make up the hampers for the work’s Christmas raffle.

It’s a good job I enjoy rushing around stressed out. Oh, and to make it a bit harder for myself, I have decided to double post here all through December as well! Has anyone got a spare day I could have?
