October Rudolph Day Tasks

  • It’s Gift in a Jar and Basket Month: Are you making some gifts in a jar or putting together gift baskets? If so this is the month to pull them together! Buy jars or better yet, go on a search of resale shops and find an odd assortment of jars. I love the treasures I find in resale shops!  while you’re at it…look for baskets too, at a fraction of the cost! Decide on the ones you will make this year, create a master list and buy ingredients and items!
  • Master Gift List: It’s time to check the list again. Just like Santa, checking it twice. Add a space for checking when you wrap the gift. This will also help keep track of what is already wrapped and what still needs to be!

Can you believe it?  It’s almost the holiday season! Will you be ready? It’s time to make some tough decisions about what you can and cannot pull off this year! Get out those lists and get them parred down to a managable plan!  Gifts in a jar are thrifty fairly simple gift choices. So browse on line for some creative gift ideas and help the holiday budget!

I took the time this Rudy Day to do a gift closet inventory….I am extremely well set on stuffers, but am woefully behind on gifts for DH. He is SO hard to buy for. I am good for everyone else…I have either gotten their gifts, or know what I’m getting them!

This year I have decided to make an effort to spread the season out a bit by celebrating St Nicholas Day, St. Lucia Day, and having an activity or little gift for the 12 Days of Christmas. It’s been fun coming up with ideas, and I did a quick run-through on my plans for that on Rudy Day, too.

It’s nice to feel so prepared!
