Cards for the Whole Year

I make one "card shopping trip" to a dollar store or other card store. I buy birthday, Thank you, Sympathy,and Christmas cards for the whole year. Then, I store the cards in a card storage box.

Keeping in Touch

When we were little, Sunday afternoon was for visiting! Now with family & friends sometimes out of state, I make Sunday a day for reaching out and touching someone through calls or emails. To save time, I make a newsletter and can send it to numerous family members at the same time! I always end with "I love you."

Christmas card list

I peel or cut off the return address stickers from the Christmas card I receive and tape them in a Christmas log book. I mark off who I sent cards to and who sent me one back with the year checked off.

Christmas Cookie Time Saver

I take a day a few weeks before Christmas and make all my ccokie dough. I put them in sealable storage bags and put them in the fridge. As I have time through out the coming weeks I bake cookies, even if it is only 1 or 2 trays at a time. I freeze the cookies when they are done. My cookies are done in time for Christmas without much time taken up making them.

Time saving cookies

Stay sane during the holiday rush. Bake your cut-out cookies in advance & freeze with waxed paper between. Decorate after thawing & serve up a big time and sanity savings.

Digital Camera Reminder

Before each holiday, I always place a reminder on my computer calendar to pack my digital camera in my purse along with a couple extra batteries. When I get to an event I have my camera and extra batteries at hand.

Family Ornament Exchange

For years, the women in our family (and extended family) have been exchanging ornaments with each other on Thanksgiving Day. Originally theses were homemade, though throughout the years we've "customized" them by purchasing just about anything we see throughout the year that reflects "us." It's simple to turn a small trinket into an ornament and personalize it with a glue gun and a glitter pen. Taking out our ornaments each year brings back MANY, MANY fond Thanksgiving memories.

Buying PJs for the Little Ones

My sister-in-law started this with her girls. We get together every Chrismas Eve with my family. Each year, she brings a gift of pajamas for her girls. That way when they leave to go home to wait for Santa, they are already in their pj's. The whole family does it now. All the kids think it's pretty cool. They can't wait to see what kind fo pj's they are getting.
