Mark your calendar for any special religious services you want to attend.  Are there plays, or special events you need to attend for the kids?  Prioritize events, and extend regrets to those you don’t really want to attend.  You need time to yourself if you don’t want things getting too hectic.

Purchase any supplies you will need for Christmas Day, such as film and batteries for toys that require them.

If you usually call extended family and friends during the holidays, start now.  Later you may be too busy, they may be too busy, or the telephone circuits may be too busy.
