October Christmas To Do List

• Update or create Christmas card and gift list
• Set overall budgets for cards, gift wrap, presents, food and drink
• Look for stocking fillers that you don’t find everywhere on the high street.
• If you haven’t already done so book your Christmas functions with restaurants and hotels.
• Plan your Christmas calendar
  • Book your Christmas hair and beauty appointments
  • Plan when you will visit family and friends as leaving this late can cause ciaos and stress.
  • What will you be doing on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve, New Years Day etc.
• If you need to send gifts overseas then check the last post date for surface mail – for some parts of the World this can be as early the start of October.  You can check check the details on the Royal Mail website.
• You can spread the cost of Christmas a little by buying ingriendents for your Christmas Cake and Christmas Pudding, Pickles, Mincemeat etc a few at a time each week, rather than all at once.  Make a list of everything you’re going to need and start ticking off the items as you buy them.  Just don’t be tempted to eat them before Christmas.
