The Dickens quote that inspired me: "I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year!" (said by a reformed Scrooge).
To eliminate vagueness and give some structure to this concept, I decided that on the 25th of each month, I would do one thing that would get me closer to being ready for Christmas, such as making my holiday cards.
This idea seemed to go along pretty swimmingly until I got derailed sometime, oh, around February of that year. That year was followed by the epic awfulness of 2015. I started with renewed hope in 2016 and somehow managed to just get it all screwed up again. Each year after that fell in pretty much the same pattern. However, I'm nothing if not stupidly resilient, so I've decided to try this again. Here's to the year when I finally FINALLY get my act together and feel more prepared for Christmas!
Now that we've gotten that explanation out of the way, be sure to tune in tomorrow to see my first step in getting ready for Holiday Season 202
