It's over and only just beginning!!

Hello and happy new year to you and yours.

So Christmas 2014 has sadly passed, but hey Christmas 2015 planning and organising is under way!!

Yesterday I started taking the decorations down and packing them away for next time, always a sad time for me as I think a house looks so loved decked in all its Christmas finery.   I have a large box for each area of the house and I always have a pad and pencil handy for this process so that I can make a note of things I really liked or disliked, things that I need to buy and replace and things that I have seen that I would like to do for next year, for instance I have a wreath that I put up on one of our internal doors that is now looking a little sad it needs some attention before next year I have made a note and will write it in my planner for about the beginning of November to get it down and get to work (I also have a massive collection of pins on Pintrest for Christmas idea’s) This years notes will go in my planners Christmas section to be referred to as and when needed.   When I get to the stage of putting the boxes back in the loft I also use this as an opportunity to have a rifle through everything, throwing out any rubbish, or donating for re-sale if things are still in good condition but not to my liking any more. I take great care packing things away carefully and putting the boxes and bags away in some sort of sensible order so that come next year I can do a bit at a time.

If you have read my previous post about cards…………yes I have bought cards, wrapping, boxes and bags in the sales, done the label templates and printed them off and have packed them all in a super-size Christmas gift bag so that I can grab and go come November.

So roll on Christmas!!!
