By the end of this week my Christmas Cards will be written
and lined up for either posting or hand delivering. I have printed all the
labels from a template that I have set up in word, I have a label for every
card that I write whether they are for posting or not, as the template of
labels is checked and double checked I know that once they are all gone I have
everybody covered, this takes the pressure off a little as I can dip in and out
of card writing without getting in a muddle.
I have been buying second class stamps throughout the year so I won’t
need a mortgage when I get to the post office, the only ones I will have to pay
for are four for Australia (they by themselves cost a small fortune so I am
always glad I have the stamps for the others in hand).
I have also printed a December calendar page from a word
template this is now being filled in backwards from Christmas day, I use it as
a meals/jobs to be done log, the 24th will hopefully have very
little in it as I love to relax and enjoy the day, doing Christmassy things
without being stressed.
While I am
cooking meals during the lead up, I am doubling up on everything, so last night
we had Beef Casserole, this was cooked in my slow cooker during the day whilst
I was at work so it was easy to do twice as much, I have now frozen half of it
in a foil container, allocated the meal on the December Planner and written the
allocated date on the lid of the tub, all I will have to do for the meal is
take it out of the freezer the day before then put it in the oven to heat
through easy and stress free!!
Buy yourself some time and double up your cooking!
