Excited to join in with Tamy over at Chasing My Life for Blogmas again this year. I try to do this every year. And since time seems to be flying this season, I’m hoping it’ll help me slow down and enjoy the holidays a bit more.
I don’t want to blink and find out it’s Christmas Eve.
She shared the schedule today and it’s as follows: 
Lots of fun topics as always! Let’s get to today’s topic of holiday schedule.
Honestly, I’m not much of a schedule person though I don’t mind a good plan. And I have been pondering on a plan to help me slow down and enjoy the holidays more.
My plans for the holiday season so far look like this:
This weekend: Chiefs football today, tomorrow the Hallmark movie and G wants to order pizza and have a game night, no idea about Sunday. Tree is already up but not yet decorated so that’s going to happen at some point this weekend.
This coming week: I work Monday. Debating if I should limit the number of days I agree to work each week in December. Thursday, I’m meeting girlfriends for lunch and we have tickets for a holiday homes tour after that. Saturday is my brother-in-law’s birthday and also our monthly dinner out with friends, not sure how that is going to work out as I’ve heard nothing on either side.
The following week: Starts with my birthday on Monday! Not sure if we’ll celebrate the weekend before or just do something that evening. Depending on the weather, I might request we go see a Christmas light display somewhere. There are lots of Christmas-y things going on around town I’d like to go see and do.
The week of the 16th: Is very quiet on my calendar right now. I work a half-day on Friday so a teacher can leave early for travel. It’s the last week of school before Christmas break!
Christmas week: A bit busier of a week. My sister in law’s birthday is the 22nd though I’ve not heard of any plans for it yet, a friend is having a Christmas party the 23rd, and then J most likely plays in his band at church for their Christmas Eve candlelight service, a new tradition I’ve come to love.
Christmas day: Dinner at my brother’s house.
Personal Christmas Schedule:
Aside from pondering the scaling back of my working days (I’m not scheduled other than Monday and the 20th right now but that won’t stay), I’m also thinking of once again watching a Christmas movie every day in December. I did that a few years ago and really enjoyed it. And of course, somewhere in there I need to fit in Christmas shopping!
Do you have your Christmas schedule outlined or are you more a take it day by day kind of person? I think I’m somewhere in the middle.
