For anyone who may not have seen this before, To-Do Tuesday was started by Lisa @ Crazy Adventures in Parenting for the purpose of attacking our to-do lists each week, blogging about our lists and what we’ve got going on, and sharing it with each other to help keep each other accountable.
A friend and I sat down this evening and worked out our schedules for getting everything done for Christmas. We decided we would check in with each other periodically to see how we’re doing – what’s getting done and when we’re goofing off or getting overwhelmed.
Although it still feels like there’s a lot to do, I am more confident now that it will get done and I won’t make myself crazy over it. And posting it here just makes me even more accountable!

Somewhere in there we do want to spend an evening at Hersheypark for Christmas Candylane, but other than that, the schedule up until Christmas Day is pretty much set.
I won’t bore you with my regular list since it hasn’t really changed from last week. But I will tell you that I’ve decided next year I really am going to start the holiday preparations a bit sooner so I don’t have this much left on December 1st!
