Three Things to do in June to Prepare for Next Christmas

Here we are in the middle of June. The months are quickly passing, and before we know it, Christmas will be here. How are you doing with your holiday preparations? Have these monthly lists been helpful? What months did you find to be the easiest?

Below are the tasks in June that will help make the holidays less stressful. 

Decide on DIY gifts

This is not something I do much of these days, but for those artisans out there, it's time to start thinking about what you're making. Back in January, you would have inventoried and organized your craft supplies, so by next month, you will be in a good place to purchase supplies. 

Consider and/or Make Travel Arrangements

Some flexibility is needed for travel plans because you might not even know where you are going yet. But if you know visiting family is on your list, you can finalize those travel arrangements now. Whether you are flying, driving, or taking the train, you can put together your plans and sometimes order tickets. 

We've never gone away for the holidays, but I truly would love to spend Christmas on the Outer Banks of North Carolina one year. What would your dream Christmas getaway be?

I was at the mall today browsing for a Father's Day gift for my other half. This is the first year none of the kids will be home for Father's Day, so I am hoping to make it special for the two of us. They had so many amazing sales that I knew I could grab one or two things for Christmas as well. Several online sites compile Father's Day gift lists, like this one from Good Housekeeping, that might spark some holiday gift ideas as well. 

With these tips, you can make the rest of your holiday planning easier.
