Every year, around the middle of October, FLYLady begins her Christmas preparation countdown, known to all FLYBabies as the Holiday Cruise. This year the cruise began while I was on a field trip to Virginia. That doesn’t mean I missed the boat, though. It just means I need to jump aboard whenever I can. FLYLady believes in jumping in where you are, not worrying about catching up, a philosophy that reminds me so much of Christ. He meets us where we are, too. Maybe that is why I like the FLYLady home management system so much.Anyway, today marks 62 days until Christmas. Am I ready? No way! I will get there, though, with a little prodding from my FLYLady Holiday Cruise reminders. Today’s accomplishments:
- placed holiday events on calendar
- discussed additional holiday events with my daughter
- researched additional holiday events
- worked on Christmas card list
- shopped for Christmas cards online
- selected Christmas stamps
According to FLYLady, I should spend no more than 15 minutes per day on these Christmas preparation tasks. I guess I’m slow because the above list occupied more than 60 minutes of my evening. Maybe I will work more efficiently tomorrow.
