Now that our food has settled from the Thanksgiving holiday, it is time to turn our thoughts to getting organized for Christmas.

There are so many things we need and want to do but aren’t sure where to start. The best thing we can do is start with the details – knowing what we need to do, when it needs to be done, and how we plan on going about completing it all.
