No one has been here for awhile.....

Thought I would kick this forum in its motherboard and see if I can get it started again.
Tomorrow is another "Rudolf day" being the 25th of April. With only 7 to go until the big day, I was wondering if anyone has already started some planning.
I have a box full of gifts and new decorations I have picked up already and looking forward to finding more in the months to come.
I want to go and pick up a new note book to list all those I want to get a gift for and to keep track of the decorations I have bought. Also want to make a wish list for those I am wanting to get this year.
What have you done so far?

I have been planning for Christmas since last Christmas LOL!!!. Have several gifts bought for, listed who they are for in my notebook. I just bought 4 more gifts earlier this week that I need to get another tote for and stash them away with the rest. Will spend sometime this weekend updating my notebook with new recipes and the new gifts I just bought.

We are going to look for a utilty closet this weekend so I have a place to store all my holiday platters, linens, etc. My kitchen is small so I do not have enough storage space for everything however I do have a huge laundry room and have the space for a utility closet.

I have done a couple of things....
1. downloaded couple of albums off Itunes
2. developed shopping plan and budget
3. rearranged my list of christmas movies that I want to see
4. come up with a master list of activities and tasks to do. I take it easy in May and June because those months are so busy for me. I have a little Christmas in July where I will watch a movie and start back up again....
