Making Christmas Lists Now Instead of Later

Have you always wanted to be one of those people who sends Christmas cards to everyone who has ever touched your life? Of course, Christmas rolls around and you’re just too busy so you figure you’ll get around to doing it next year. Well guess what, it’s next year. Summer is the perfect time to start making Christmas lists because you’re not bogged down with the stress of Christmas yet.

The key to making sure that this project isn’t too overwhelming is to start by brainstorming a list of everyone that you know. Go through your calendars, appointment books, social networking sites and email contacts to get everyone covered. For example, your appointment book may remind you that you were looking at homes for sale in Florida which causes you to remember to add the custom home builders in Tampa and the custom home builders in Dunnellon to your list.

Once you have the list, you need to organize it into those people whose addresses you have and those that you need to get. Start requesting the addresses now. Then you can start shopping for Christmas cards so that you can begin writing them out in the next month or two. It takes some hard work to be this kind of person but the smiles and thanks you get at Christmastime will be worth it.
