The Christmas countdown is *officially* on! Can we agree that you never really feel ready?? If you do, help a girl out and spread the secret, lol. I'm always running around last minute trying to get everything done so in true KP fashion, I’m making a weekly to-do list of what I want and need to get done.
CHRISTMAS WEEK TO-DO LIST
+ PRESENTS - Operation everything presents is at the top of the list. I still need to find a few last minute gifts, wrap a handful & get some shipped out. Lucky for me I can shop until I drop in no time!
+ CHRISTMAS CARDS? - Do you think we’ve missed the boat on this one? Do people still mail out cards and if so, when??? I’m pretty sure it’s not the week of Christmas, lol. Nevertheless, I purchased the prettiest cards this year which I will be showing off! 🤪 In all seriousness, I think there’s something sentimental and nice about sending and receiving cards. I normally put them inside of gift packages I send but I think it might be nice to send both separately. We’ll see how it ends up, lol.
+ CHRISTMAS COOKIES - Can you believe last year was my first time making sugar cookies at Christmas? I think that’s a tradition most people have that I was never a part of. It was so much fun and they were delicious! It’s also fun to have something to snack on while you’re enjoying the rest of the fun, cooking, etc. I'm hoping to start making it one of my traditions every year!
+ All THE FUN THINGS - In the midst of the things that need to get done, it’s always important to add the things you want to get done. I always feel silly putting things like “watch a movie” on my list, but a lot of the times I won’t prioritize and do them if I’m not mentally prepared. My goal this week is to enjoy that holiday feeling wherever I can. Hopefully I’ll watch a few more movies, look at Christmas lights and relax a little bit in between work. There’s never much rest for us retailers so it’s important to try and find some balance.
+ GET A WORKOUT IN - I can’t say I’m looking forward to this one but I have one more OTF class to complete before the end of the week. I figure that the closer we get to Christmas, the less likely I am to make it there (shoutout to any of you who workout on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day). My goal is to go on Tuesday morning so I can knock it out. Despite the occasional moans and groans, I'm still glad I joined and I appreciate the accountability. Without it there would be no chance in hell I'd be working out this week! 🤪

I think that’s it for now… I'm probably forgetting something major but we'll end it with wishing you a fun & relaxing week. A cold front is headed our way (and apparently 12 inches of snow that isn’t showing up on the forecast??? LOL) so it looks like we'll be having a chilly Christmas here. Crossing my fingers for some of the fluffy stuff!
