Getting Ready for Christmas

One of my goals was to start gettting ready for Christmas earlier this year. I took some time yesterday evening and did just that. I made a small section in my household binder as well for Christmas 2008. I did this so I could keep up with it and not let it fall behind.
The first thing I did last night was make a list of who I was dedicated to buy gifts for. Besides my husband and children I only narrowed it down to 14 people. YIKES! This still seems alot to me. Im trying to be as frugal as possible as well. I only narrowed it down to our siblings, our parents and of course our grandparents…oh and our two neices. I did what I could and I merged the grandparents girts together instead of getting each grandparent a seperate gift, this yr they will recive one gift together.
The next thing I did was make a list of people I was dedicated to giving Christmas cards too. Right now my list is 11 people but that might expand by the time Christmas gets here. Most of them I can hand deliver to, but would like to include pictures of the boys inside.
I also made a quick jot down of ideas of what to get people. I already had some ideas in mind so I quickly jotted them down before I forgot.
I put all of this in my household binder and will leave it there so I can work on it each month before Christmas. Keeping track of what I buy and how much I spend, Etc. Are u getting ready for Christmas yet and if so what have u or are u doing?
