- Week 9: research ways we can volunteer time and/or donate gifts as a family
- Week 8: Hmm... I'll find something i am sure
- Week 7: design our cards, order stamps, and address envelopes
- Week 6: finish shopping for our gift list
- Week 5: get out the calendar and schedule dates and events
- Week 4: Go Christmas Tree hunting with my brother and decorate for Christmas!
- Week 3: thoroughly clean, prepare for guests; make food plans; freeze meals for the next few weeks
- Week 2: make and freeze cookie dough; prep food gifts
- Week 1: enjoy the time with Friends & Family
