Oh lala,The Holidays The Thanksgiving turkey is the best whenit comes out of the oven golden brown crispy hot, with an enticing mouth watering aroma that fills the entire house making everyone hungry. All the chinaware is in pristine and excellent condition and not a single piece in the set is missing or lost. The family is gathered for holiday pictures, and the small children are poised elegantley; hands to themselves, not a hair out of place and their smiles are shining brightly through their white teeth for the camera. Then just as the photographer is about to capture the shot you wake up!
come on let's be realistic ladies. Without proper planning and thinking, the holidays are anything but a holiday. Just look at the list of things that need to be done how big it is: cooking,shopping, cleaning, decorating, sending holiday mail, the list goes on and on and on.

What types of holiday celebrations do you want? For example: Do you want to have an immediate family only holiday affair or an extravaganza including immediate and extended family plus a few friends? Once you've thought everything through and decided on the type of holiday gathering you would like, you can then start making your plans.
If you are ready to get a head start on organizing yourself, your family and your holiday check lists, then keep reading:
Holidays Cards: Start Very early! I use a holiday card list that I get from from saving names and addresses from holiday cards my family or me has received in past Holiday season years. I have created a simple, computerized,easy to read list that is easy to edit and print onto address labels. Be sure to stock lots of stamps so that when you have your cards signed, and ready to go you can just simply stick a stamp to them and make one, simple trip to the nearest Post Office.
