π September: Plan & Budget Now, Stress Less Later
β Make a Gift List: Not everyone needs a store-bought gift! Instead, create a Holiday Cookie Gift Listβhomemade treats make thoughtful (and budget-friendly) gifts.
β Set a Holiday Budget: Include gifts, travel, decor, and donations. Sticking to a budget now = no financial regrets in January!
β Find Your Santa Hiding Spot: Avoid last-minute scramblingβpick a secret storage space for gifts now. (Mineβs the top shelf of my office closet!)

π October: Shop Smart & Get a Head Start
β Start Shopping Early: Prices rise as Christmas nears! Grab toys, stocking stuffers (except candy), and gift cards while selection is still great.
β Plan Your Holiday Cards: Choose a design and schedule a photographer if needed.
β Find Holiday Baking Inspiration: Browse Pinterest for easy cookie recipesβone that doubles as a gift idea is a win-win!
π November: Wrap It Up (Literally!)
β Take & Print Holiday Photos: Address your cards and have them stamped, ready to mail by December 1st!
β Finish Major Shopping: Knock out big-ticket items so youβre not panic-buying at the last minute.
β Stock Up on Wrapping Supplies: Get paper, tape, boxes, and gift bagsβbecause losing scissors mid-wrapping is a holiday tradition, right? π
βοΈ December: Time to Enjoy the Magic!
β Wrap Gifts While the Kids Are at School: This is your last chance for peace & quiet while wrapping!
β Donβt Forget the Stocking Candy! Whether for stockings or holiday movie nights, make sure you have festive treats on hand.
β Create Cozy Memories: Turn on the Christmas tunes, decorate with your family, bake cookies, and take a drive to see the holiday lights. πβ¨
