What's Rudolph Day? Here was the definition according to Organized Christmas, sadly the Rudolph Day pages don't seem to exist any longer, but I fortunately saved the details:
A few years ago, members of our Christmas community began to observe "Rudolph Day" on the 25th of each month.On that day, we take a few moments to plan some simple tasks for the month ahead, in order to get ready for Christmas Day with plenty of time to spare. By starting early--and working a bit at a time on each month's Rudolph Day--it's easy to prepare for Christmas, save money on gifts, and cut holiday stress.
Here's the annual line-up with the sub-theme in parentheses:
January - Tie Up Loose Ends (gather ideas and organize your Christmas notebook)
February - Begin a Holiday Letter
March - Birthday Gift-Buying Strategy (party planning for the holiday season)
April - Plan Holiday Crafts
May - Catalog Shopping Tips
June - Recipe Round Up
July - Choose a Holiday Plan (Christmas in July celebration)
August - Craft Control (thinking ahead to Elf on the Shelf)
September - Prepare for Holiday Gifts and Giving
October - Plan Holiday Meals
November - Write Holiday Letter
The bottom line is...prepare for Christmas by doing something every month and make the 25th of each month a Rudolph Day by doing something Christmas-y!
Tie Up Loose Ends is your opportunity to sweep through the house and see if there is any Christmas decor still out. A holiday towel in the bathroom perhaps, or late Christmas cards still in your in basket? I did pretty good, just need to remove all the Handlez from the kitchen cupboards. I've been walking by them every day and haven't given a thought to taking them down but down they will go today.
