It’s Christmas list-making time again. If you make a gift list, you’ll save a lot of time and money.
Consider your budget and exactly how much you wish to spend on each gift. Place the amount next to each name and do not exceed that amount. “It’s the thought that counts” is a true adage for gifts. Do as much of your shopping by catalog and telephone as possible. You’ll also save a lot of time and much wear and tear on your feet and nerves if, before embarking on a shopping tour, you call stores to make sure they have the gift you need.
Also make lists of holiday menus and grocery shopping, as well. If you are a “party goer”, list what you plan to wear to each festivity, then check the garments to be sure they do not need cleaning or mending. Make lists of decorations you’ll need in your home. It’s been found that those lined yellow pads are best for lists. The experts on time-saving tell us that lists are essential. It simplifies your life to know how much has to be done.
