My Christmas preparations are coming along nicely. We are just about done buying and making presents. 

I'm going to pour myself another cup of coffee after wrapping this up and start wrapping some of the gifts. I used to put this off until Christmas Eve and ended up spending hours after our daughter went to bed. It didn't make for a good Christmas morning. 

This year I'm getting ahead of the game. I'm writing a small number on each wrapped box and the number and corresponding gift in a little notebook that stays in my purse. That makes it easy to remember what's in what box. 

How about you? Do you have any tips to share to make the busy Holiday season easier?
