8 DAYS LEFT! | CHRISTMAS WEEK TO-DO LIST

CHRISTMAS IS ONLY EIGHT DAYS AWAY! I always say this but I don't think I'll ever get over how fast time goes by. After Halloween, everything has been a blur and constant go-go-go for me (if you didn't already know, I work in retail). It shouldn't be any surprise that there are still a ton of Christmasy things left on my to-do list, lol. It's my favorite time of the year and I always want to do the festive + fun things, however my expectations always exceed my reality. I'm still holding out hope that I can cram in everything this last final week! In the spirit of Christmas (and to mentally prepare myself to get sh*t done), I thought I'd share my Christmas game plan for the week.

While I haven't done everything on my list, I've still managed to check off several things + a few extras. So far I've put up my tree (major win IMO), finished *most* of my Christmas shopping, watched a Christmas movie, opened my advent calendar daily (each day is up on Tik-Tok if you want to follow along), went to a Christmas tree lighting and looked at Christmas lights around town.

THIS WEEK'S AGENDA

+ Finish up the rest of my Christmas shopping. Most of the time I never really feel "done," but this year I've knocked off most of the people on my list. I still need to pick up a few things here + there which I'm hoping to finish up this weekend. PS-- if you're still shopping + need some ideas, check out my Holiday Gift Guides here. 

+ Wrap presents. I get in trouble with this one EVERY year. I always put it off until literally the day of + end up hating myself for it, lol. I'm going to try my hardest to start wrapping a few gifts each day this week to make it fun + less stressful. I also have some presents that need to be wrapped + shipped ASAP.

+ Ship the presents. 

+ Watch more Christmas movies. Honestly it's tragic I've only watched one movie which was Love Hard on Netflix (see my Netflix Christmas picks here). Hoping to watch a few new ones + a few favorites this week. 

+ Bake cookies! I ordered some cute cookie cutters + sprinkles so the cookies are happening. 

+ Decorate my tree? I haven't made the time to do it yet but I'm thinking I might squeeze it in. I usually leave my tree up for a bit after Christmas so I'll still have some time to enjoy. 

+ Look at more lights around town. One of my favorite things to do! 

+ Finish up my advent calendar 

Have you finished your shopping yet? 😜
