Christmas is Coming….

July 16, 2008

And my giveaway pile’s gettin’ fat!

That’s right. I’ve been scheming this last couple weeks to put together some very cool, Christmas-in-July giveaways. Corporations and individuals have been so generous, that I will be able to give away something fantastic everyday next week and several more as the holiday season gets closer.

Christmas? That is five months away. Why do we need to think about it now?

Because.

  • Because we’re on the Road to Joyful Motherhood, right?
  • Because we know that if we don’t plan ahead, we’ll be ranked right up there with Scrooge and the Grinch (before they turned) for our crankiness.
  • Because we know that last-minute thinking is usually more expensive than if we spend a few brain cells now to come up with a plan.
  • Because it’s fun!

So, get your thinking caps on. Dig up fond Christmas memories. Dig up your favorite recipes and be prepared to share. Think about what gadget or tool helps you during Christmastide for a special Holiday-themed Toolin’ Up Tuesday.

Get ready to comment or post, because you can’t win if you don’t play.

I posted my fave tool on my blog. It’s a book that has proven to be worth its weight in gold. It’s full of recipes, gift ideas and games.

I started buying for Christmas last week…BBW was having their huge semi-annual sale so I bought the ladies in our fam some great soaps, lotions, and bubble baths.

Not sure if you’d consider it a “tool”, but I use a plastic 3 drawer bin to store my Christmas gifts so that I know where they all and don’t over shop in December.

Great ideas, ladies! Come back on Tuesday with your “tool” ideas. We’ll have a special post where we can list them all!

I’m looking forward to reading all the ideas. I love Christmas, and it is baby boy Koala’s first, so I need ideas to make this one even more memorable. Thanks so much for your site.

Thanks so much for participating in this conversation about "a mom's life."

This is a place where moms can be themselves. Remember that each mother's path looks a little different. Please keep your comments respectful and kind. Reasonable minds will disagree in a nice way.

So let's talk about it, using "our big girl words."
