August Rudolph Day Tasks
Rudolph Day is designed to help you prepare for Christmas a little each month. By breaking it down into small steps Christmas prep is not only easy but fun too! Each month we will be posting some tasks to complete on Rudolph Day and throughout the month. The Rudolph Day month runs from the 25th of one month to the 25th of the next month!The items on the list are just suggestions. Christmas prep is unique for each individual so one list will definately NOT fit all. Please use the list below to get you thinking about what you might accomplish this month.
1. Elfcapades: We are declaring August to be the Month of the Elf! It’s time to plan some Elf activities. Get out some planner sheets and jot down any “pranks” your elf might do and also check your elf gifts (did you pick up some items after Christmas for the elf to bring this year?) Don’t forget “experience gifts” are lots of fun with the elf. So be sure and include making cookies or going to the theater to take in the newest Christmas movie (the elf goes too, of course!) The elf can present the tickets as a surprise! If your elf is writing notes….get a jump start and craft a couple this month so they are all ready when the busy holiday season arrives! If you aren’t sure about this whole Elf Thing…..check out Magic Elves for information about kinds of elves and the whole elf experience. There are also stories, celebrations, and craft ideas!
2. Crafts: It’s time to check about any crafts you are making, whether as decor or for gifts! How are you doing on the crafts and gifts? Do you still need to get some materials? Which ones are priorities? Work on those this month! Remember time is a factor, so don’t take on more than you can reasonably finish!
Can you believe it’s August already! The year is ticking by and it’s time for some serious holiday prep….so get busy and be ready for the best Christmas EVER.
