Simple 6 Week Christmas Countdown

Welcome to my very simple countdown of how I intend preparing for Christmas this year. If you have been following the youtube channel, you will know that I don’t always manage to follow through on my good intentions. However I thought this year I would share my plans with you and hopefully we can get through them together.

Week 1

Declutter

Reverse Advent

Check availability of important gifts and buy as soon as possible

Check who is doing what and where so you know who to expect or where you are going

Make your food shopping list

Week 2

Check bedding, clothing etc for yourself and guests

Write cards that you want to send by post

Buy any cordials and/or special coffee/tea and other drinks

Make sure you have batteries, scissors, bin bags etc if you will need them

Week 3

Find yearly blankies/pyjamas etc and wash to freshen up

Make sure you remember the pets, charities, staff that you want to give gifts to

Post cards – post has been delayed recently so better safe than sorry

Buy jarred/canned/packet condiments and cooking ingredients

Week 4

Check your decorations and get ready to deck the halls

Cook home made items to put in the freezer

Buy frozen supplies

Week 5

Get final gifts and wrapping paraphernalia

Donate reverse advent

Declutter again

Buy biscuits/crackers/snacks etc

Week 6

Buy all the fresh food you need

Rush about doing all the things we forgot about or haven’t gotten done yet
