July 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. Christmas Cards: This is the perfect month for designing and making your cards. At the very least, come up with your design and create a materials list. Making cards is a big task, so the more you can accomplish this month the earlier your cards will be done and ready to mail. If you use store bought cards, then this is the month to locate them, sign them and tuck them into envelopes. It’s also a great time to update the addresses on your Christmas Card List.
2. Finish Up Stocking Stuffers Month: Over at Magical Holiday Home, it’s also Finish Up Stocking Stuffers Month. Time to get out the stocking stuffers list and see just what you still need to pick up.
A Word of Caution: Around Christmas time, there are tons of cute little trinket things that are very appealing as stocking stuffers. I used to end up with dozens of them but then I realized that even though they are cute, they are quickly tossed aside. Now I try to pick up things during the year and the goal is to be done before August Rudolph Day rolls around. I also try to pick a variety of things that will be used. In additon, when thinking “stocking stuffers” I believe less is more. I cut down on the number and no one noticed nor cared. Currently six is the magic number for me.
