• Christmas Cruisin'

  Only 37 days til Christmas! 

  I refuse to participate in the frantic hustle and stressful bustle.  I'm Christmas Cruisin'.

  Everyday, I'm spending 15 min doing different tasks that will bring peace and joy to my home.  I Love Flylady's Cruising Through the Holidays!  She pretty much keeps me organized.  I don't feel pressure to religiously do everything on her lists.  I use them as a guideline and pick and choose the things that will work for my tribe.

  Our Christmas Cards arrived this week.  I ordered early to take advantage of the 50% off and free shipping at Vista Print.  I'm going to start addressing them so they'll be ready to mail Dec. 1.

  The kids loved making Reindeer Cookies last year.  We'll be doing that again.  I added the needed items to my shopping list. 

  

  Going to make the Christmas Cinnamon Rolls.  These will keep in the freezer until Christmas morning. 

  

  With the current economic conditions, we'll not be doing a lot of shopping.   We live in God's economy.  As good stewards we don't spend money we don't have on Christmas presents.  Our gift giving tradition is gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 

  

   

  So tell me, how are you getting ready for the holidays?  Recipes?  Links?  What are you giving your parents (my great dilemma)?  Come on, shaaaaare...
