I keep a list all year of gift ideas and try to buy a few ahead of time.

I'm going to take out my holiday planner this weekend and begin thinking through our plans.

I don't know you in the US do it - my hat's off to you! On the other hand, you certainly really do have more of a holiday SEASON than we do with Thanksgiving being in there. Best wishes on all your planning!Lori @ Dining Delighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16378056932489791580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-19124554579056743572015-11-02T20:36:59.930-06:002015-11-02T20:36:59.930-06:00It is scary to think how close the holiday season ...It is scary to think how close the holiday season is!

I try to wait until the Monday after Thanksgiving to really appreciate the Thanksgiving holidays. :) But planning for it is a different thing. I like to try to have the basic plan in place before Thanksgiving. That way, I have a general idea of what needs to be done and the time to accomplish those things.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12192064538924964308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-19682822286284457622015-11-02T18:10:31.247-06:002015-11-02T18:10:31.247-06:00Holiday travel plans and parties are really import...Holiday travel plans and parties are really important to get scheduled in early, just because there's usually so much going on during that season!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-11174422943197686932015-11-02T07:08:58.420-06:002015-11-02T07:08:58.420-06:00To save money, time, and sanity, try to come up wi...To save money, time, and sanity, try to come up with 1 gift idea for multiple people. My husband and I buy for my parents, brother, grandma, and his parents. The rest of the family and friends get some mass produced (but not in China) food thing. Our first Christmas, I made Puppy Chow and filled that quart size mason jars with it. Boom, gift w/ reusable packaging. Last year, we did emergency s'mores kits. These took a little more time to price, gather, and put together, but they were a hit. I still haven't decided on this year's, and I need to get on it.
