February's task was to start the holiday newsletter - check. I just set up a Word document and jotted down a few notes for January/February - plans for Okinawa/Washington, Vic's first travel, Sophia's graduation coming up. I also took a look at my mailing list and moved some people from the card list to the Facebook-only list. I bought Christmas cards at Barnes & Noble's 75% off sale (plus another discount with my B & N membership) - what a deal so I'm all set for this year. I also updated the gift closet list since I'd picked up a few things during the month.
I watched the movie - 12 Dates of Christmas - very cute, light and easy, Hallmark-y type - the opening scenes made me want to rush right out and book a holiday trip to New York, so festive.
I've been working with one of the Magical Holiday Home members on themes for Christmas in July 2018 and I'll publish it here on my blog if you're interested in joining us. Four months' planning time should be good, right?
Hahaha, the other day I started a first draft list of CIJ posts for this year. In my case it's more because I'm ready for warmer weather and CIJ just happened to come to mind. Last year I ended up printing photo postcards for my Christmas cards and I have to admit that I'm seriously thinking of doing that again this year. On the other hand I really don't want to let go of traditional Christmas cards, I enjoy them so much. Hmmm, lots to think about...
