I'll be away for a few days. Dear Husband is going to take a day off, and we're going to take Mother to Indiana to see my youngest sis and her family. They've just lived through the home renovation from HELL and I'm eager to see the changes that have been made.
My mind is still on gardens, cleaning, and preparations for Thanksgiving. Each year I try to stave off Christmas until AFTER Thanksgiving.....but I had to send a request for a wish list, and an invitation to Cookie Day already. Mother has her Christmas cards all addressed!
A good friend sent an e-mail, asking if we were booked up for December, and could we set a date to meet for dinner. I discovered, that if you didn't count the last weekend in November, we have a grand total of FOUR weekend nights left before Christmas to book that dinner. WOW! Where is the time going??? I think we should have a communal post where everyone gives their absolute best time saving tip for Christmas.
Well...I'll check back on Sunday, when we return. I hope you all have a great weekend!

Catalogue shopping, that is a quick way to deal with a chunk of the Christmas gift buying. Have a good weekend!

I save time for christmas by buying everyone little useful things instead of one big fancy thing. Shoelaces, jewlery, and candy. (*sings* these are a few of my favorite things, heheh) Anyway, i found your site through pepys, we're both from Aurora. (spooky)

We are planning on a simpler Christmas this year, and I think catalog shopping is a great idea. I've already found a few things that will cut down the time spent in the malls. Maybe I can combine your two suggestions and speed up the entire process!
