And The Countdown Begins

Tomorrow is Mr L’s birthday, tomorrow our countdown for Christmas starts, we have a month from his birthday to get ready.

I have to admit we are nearly done in the shopping department, it is just everything else that is a little crazy. This weekend Mr L is out for his birthday celebrations and I am on a little mission to sort out the house and have a  blitz on the toys, we need to make space for all the new things that are arriving at Christmas. I need to move the art stuff out of the lounge and make space for the tree, decorations and all the presents that will be arriving. We are doing Christmas here this year, so everything needs to be sorted. To be honest it is going to take a little while. I need to get some boxes and vac packs and get a little organised.

After all there is only a month left.

We have cards to make, to deliver, and post, we have wrapping to do, food to prepare and everything else on top of it. It seems a while a whole month, but I know it isn’t that long at all. So I am conscious that I need to get started and preparing now, so that I am in with a chance of organising.

We have only ever done breakfast and tea at our house over Christmas before, this is the first time we have ever done Christmas Dinner, for nine as well so it is a little daunting.

What do you do to prepare for Christmas I would love to hear your ideas, and tips so that I am totally on top of everything this year! Any advice would be gratefully received…
