Wrap gifts as soon as you get them home. Keep receipts in one place.
Arrange a holiday cookie exchange with friends and neighbors. Then you only have to bake one kind! Bake ahead of time and freeze!
Get holiday photo taken professionally or do it yourself. Or pick out a picture from the year past to give with cards. *** This needs to be done 1st! The last 2 years someone was always sick or crabby to get a family photo done and no cards went out =-(. Sorry family and friends. Nothing personal... just a crazy time of year!!!
Address cards. While you are at it, buy labels and put them over old addresses in your address book (or make sure you always use a pencil). Write a "family" letter? Do a draft now and then finish the details later.
Plan your holiday menus. Write out a shopping list.
Plan a holiday event such as caroling or cookie decorating party. MAYBE
