Welcome
to the first day of the last month of this year. One year ago today, we were in
the tundra of Pennsylvania, enjoying a freezing but fun getaway to Hershey
and Bethlehem! So much has happened in the year that has passed since, and we
are ready to tackle the last month of this year!
I have
a handful of dreams and goals for this celebration-filled month, and here is my
list!
Address and mail Christmas cards. I have been
ahead of the game on many things for this season, but not on cards. I had them
designed a while ago, but the prices were SO HIGH this year, and I waited and
waited to order, hoping for better sales. I finally purchased them on Black
Friday, so now I have to scurry to address and mail them.
Buy and wrap gifts. It’s rare that I buy gifts
ahead of December, because I’m always so busy decorating. Now that Ryan’s
family has changed their Christmas traditions, we don’t buy for many on his
side. My side is small. So I don’t have too many to buy for, but I do need to
shop and wrap!
Enjoy some Christmas fun! I want to drive
through some lights, do a home tour (excited for that!) and enjoy whatever
Christmas-related fun we can find throughout the month.
Plan for end-of-year speaking. I have one – maybe
two – days of speaking left, so I need to prep what I’m saying. I’m really
looking forward to it!
Undo all I did. What goes up must come down,
right? So at the end of the month, I need to tear down all the Christmas décor and
reset the house for January. I’ll need to do the same at the church – and I
want to pack away everything in a way that sets us up for success next year!
Prepare for 2026. I have already done a LOT of
planning – personally and professionally – so I feel this one is already
underway. But new years are significant to me (and always have been) so I need
to prepare well for what is to come!
Those
are my dreams and goals for closing out this year. How about you, friend?
Anything you want to cross off the December list?
