Did that get your attention?!? The countdown is on, and it's time to get prepared. If you missed the FREE Christmas Planning eBook and Printable Planner Pages last month, you'll definitely want to check those out now.
Another great resource I'd recommend is the Christmas in July series on Life As Mom. Jessica's got dozen's of ideas for stretching your Christmas budget, and tasty recipes like this one for Candy Cane Brownie Cupcakes -- yum!
What stage are you at now in your Christmas planning process?

I agree with Karina! I am still planning, not executing yet.
Did we have to be reminded? :-( I'm SO glad it wasn't me that sent this out to all my friends. I'm notorious for being the little devil that keeps everyone on their toes for the countdown! No one is ever happy about it either! :-) I'm afraid there will be no gifts from here this year. Unfortunately, lack of funds just won't allow it. Have a great day!
Since we still dont know where we will be for Christmas this year, Ive not done anything. Christmas will be extremely lean this year as it is and I dont feel like lugging anything more then needed from place to place.
I did however break down and buy my girls and niece each a strawberry shortcake RC car and Stylin Doll. I paid $15 for all 6 by the time I was done.
I'm almost through with Christmas shopping for my son already....now just have to work on the rest of the family. =) I'm trying to slowly start stocking up on the foods I know I'm always recruited to cook and bring also. That way there won't be any mad dashes to Walmart at 4:00 in the morning this year!
That is SCARY!
Excellent site. A lot of useful info here. I’m sending it to some friends ans also sharing in delicious. And naturally, thanks for your effort!
