Organization tips for the holiday season Staying organized during the hectic holiday season can be the

ultimate testament to a person’s ability to multi-task. Perhaps notime of year presents a bigger challenge than the holiday season,when the list of obligations increases but the amount of time inthe day unfortunately remains the same.

But staying organized can be a great way to save time and someof your sanity this holiday season. To do just that, consider thefollowing tips.

1. Create a holiday calendar. This calendar will be solelydevoted to the holidays. Fill it with all your parties, shopping listsand anything else pertaining to the holidays. That way you’llhave it all in one place.

2. Create a meal plan. Map out what meals and goodies you’llbe making this season. Write a list of ingredients you’ll need tohave ready in the pantry and bring the list with you to the market.

3. Write a list of chores. Organize your home by creating a listof what needs to be decorated, what rooms need cleaning, etc.

4. Rely on gift lists. Don’t risk having to visit the toy storemore than necessary just because you forgot one or two items.Make gift lists for every person on your list. On each list, writedown what the recipient wants, gift ideas, clothing sizes, favoritecolors, hobbies or anything else related to that person.

5. Make a holiday binder. Don’t just stuff all those mile-longgift lists and other organizational items into a drawer. File themaway in a holiday binder. Pack the binder away with the holidaydecorations each year so you’ll have it ready come next season.

-MS

“I decorate 8 Christmastrees each holiday. I’velearned to organize myornaments by tree orroom to help save timeand my sanity. So when Ipull out all the boxes outthe next year, it’s so mucheasier to decorate for theholidays. I have everythingup by November 1st...yes,that’s correct...the dayafter Halloween!”

- Chris Zoeller, RegionalAdvertising Director


The best gifts are alwaysthose that have been chosenwith care and accompanied bylove. While it’s easy to getcaught up in the frenzy of holi-day shopping and overspend,with a dash of advance plan-ning and a sprinkling of creativ-ity, it is possible to celebrateeveryone on your holiday listwithout going overboard.

Whether shopping online orin person, be sure to check withone or more Internet price-com-parison sites on the Internet,such as PriceGrabber.com,Yahoo! Shopping,DealTime.com or NexTag.com.

Another money-saving strate-

gy is to stick with homemadeand semi-homemade gifts.Such gifts are both relativelyinexpensive and can also add awelcome personal touch to hol-iday giving.

• Gift baskets and gift sets canbe put together to match justabout everyone’s tastes andinterests. Be on the lookout forinexpensive baskets, boxes andother interesting containers,which can be filled with amerry mix of items, such as asampler of herbal teas, scentedcandles or bath soaps.

• For the “duffer,” a set of golfballs, a few tees and a pair ofknee-high argyle socks makes a

practical and amusing gift. • Artists of every age will

appreciate an assortment ofdrawing or painting supplies“wrapped” in a hand decoratedpaint can. (New, unused paintcans are available at manyhome centers.)

• If you’re a good cook orbaker, share some of yourfavorite recipes and packagethem in an interesting food tin.

• Instead of giving already-baked goods, combine the dryingredients of your favoritecookies in decorated mason jarsand add a festive tag with mix-ing and baking instructions.

Holiday gifts on a budget

SAVINGS MADE SIMPLE FROM THE STAFFLook out for sale and clearance items all year round and save them for gift-giving time. Not only do you savemoney, but you also avoid spending so much at one time.Reuse holiday gift bags and bows.Cut your old Christmas cards from last year in half, and send the pretty side as a postcard. It works great, plusyou’re being earth friendly by keeping new cards out of the garbage dumps.

This year, many familieshave been forced to cut backon some of their favoritethings. Because of the reces-sion, families are making sac-rifices in all aspects of life.One such area many families

have unfortunately beenforced to reassess is theircharitable donations. With theholiday season upon us, manyfamilies are realizing theymight not be able to donate asmuch this year, which onlyhighlights the importance ofmaking a donation as mean-ingful as possible. The fol-lowing tips should help fami-lies ensure their donation isthe right one this holiday sea-son.• Ask for documentation.

Because many families canonly afford to make one char-

itable donation this year, it’simportant when choosing acharity to ask for documenta-tion that specifies just whereyour money will go. If nodocumentation can be provid-ed, inquire as to how themoney is used and what per-centage of each donation goesto the cause of the charity andhow much goes toward thecharity’s operating costs.• Decide on a number and

stick to it. This can be hard, asthose with a giving heart canfind it hard to turn down aneedy charity. However, fam-ilies facing financial troublesor cutting back should decideon a given amount to donateand once that present has beengiven, kindly refuse othercharities asking for donations.

Families often have their own uniquetraditions when it comes to the holidays.Lately, families have begun to includefilms in many of those traditions. That’sthanks largely to the array of classic hol-iday films that have consistently put peo-ple in the holiday mood. Families reunit-ing for the holidays this year have a hostof films from which to choose to enjoy anight in and a bucket of popcorn. Whenheading to visit family and friends, con-

sider bringing one of the following as agift to make a memorable night withloved ones.

• “National Lampoon’s ChristmasVacation” (1989) — Led by an all-starcast including Chevy Chase and BeverlyD’Angelo, the Griswold familyChristmas should be merry, but naturallyturns into a hilarious disaster. Look forappearances by “Seinfeld” veteran JuliaLouis-Dreyfus and legendary comedi-

enne Doris Roberts in supporting roles.• “A Christmas Story” (1983) —

Growing up in 1940s America, youngRalphie has his heart set on a Red RiderBB gun for Christmas, but it seems likeMom, teacher and even Santa are certainhe’ll “shoot his eye out” with such a gift.Will Ralphie find his heart’s desire underthe tree? Watch to find out.

• “It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946) —When distraught George Baily (JimmyStewart) meets a compassionate angel,he learns what life would have been likeif he’d never existed. Holiday magicwins out in the end.

• “Miracle on 34th Street” (1947) —Another classic that can’t be missed!When a man claiming to be Santa Clausis deemed insane, a young lawyer and aheadstrong young girl come to his res-cue.

• “A Christmas Carol” (1951) — Yetanother movie that has spawned a seriesof more recent remakes. This one starsAlastair Sim as Mr. Scrooge, a bitter,

miserly man who doesn’t give a bahhumbug about the holiday season. Butwill a haunting by three ghosts changehis mind and ill will?

• “A Charlie Brown Christmas” (1965)— Charlie Brown is depressed and can’tfind the Christmas spirit. When he is putin charge of the school’s holiday pageantand comes in with a meager Christmastree, the schoolkids ultimately learnabout the true meaning of Christmas.

Using lettersfound in both

nature andarchitecture,

custom framedartwork from

Sticks andStonesTM is a

creative andthoughtful gift

idea for thathard-to-pleaseloved one this

holiday season.

With the holidays upon us once again, theendless and often exhausting search for the per-fect gift has no doubt returned as well. And justlike shoppers can rely on long lines at the malland crowded parking lots, they can also counton that one friend or family member on theirholiday shopping list who seemingly has it all,making them nearly impossible to shop for.

Though there’s little shoppers can do when itcomes to long lines at the mall or crowdedparking lots, fortunately there are steps shop-pers can take to make even the most difficultperson on their list a cinch to shop for.

• Avoid the mall. Someone who already haseverything likely has seen or purchased all thatthe mall has to offer, so shoppers can avoid thestress of the nearby mall by looking elsewherefor gifts.

• Get creative. Creativity is often at the coreof the perfect and thoughtful gift. Such was thecase when Jera Deal, a mother of three and aschool mother for her daughter Julianna’s pre-school class, found herself hunting for the idealgift to give Julianna’s teacher for her wedding.Hoping to go beyond the gifts listed in the reg-istry, Deal decided to turn a playful game sheand her family enjoyed while walking in thepark into a creative gift idea.

To aid in their children’s alphabet lessons,Jera, her husband, Brad, and their three girlsbegan “letter hunting” on walks in the park,looking for different “letters” in nature (sticks)and architecture (stones). For each letter theyfound, they would take a photograph, soon col-lecting the entire alphabet.

While the game initially started as a playfuland creative way to help her daughters learn thealphabet, Jera Deal turned that game into anideal gift for her daughter’s teacher, customframing the letters from her now extensivelibrary to spell out the teacher’s new last name.

“It was a gift from the class, so I knew it hadto be really special and really unique, andsomething that she would never forget where itcame from,” says Jera.

The gift proved to be just that, and the Dealssoon discovered their idea that started as agame with their kids was also a perfect meansto giving a thoughtful, unique and creative gift.In less than three years, Sticks and Stones grewfrom a thoughtful idea for a teacher’s weddinggift into a succesful business with some ratherrenowned clientele.

“If you want to give someone a totally origi-nal keepsake — here it is,” says Oprah Winfrey,who gave one to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmesas a wedding present. “This is the perfect giftfor the person who has everything because noone has anything like this!”

Featured on “The Rachael Ray Show,” “TheMartha Stewart Show,” and in People maga-zine among others, Sticks and Stones offers anextensive gallery of letters in both nature andarchitecture. Shoppers can choose which lettersto use, ensuring no two creations will ever bethe same.

Kids can have fun and learn the joy of giving by creating handmade gifts for loved onesthis holiday season.

A hand-painted pencil holder made froma soup can will keep its place of honor ona busy executive’s desk for decades. Asewing box made from a shoebox andcovered in decoupage will get a smileevery time it is used over a lifetime.Handmade gifts from children are cre-ative, inexpensive and show them thatgiving can be fun.

While decorated tin cans, shoe boxesand oatmeal containers have been thebeginnings of countless homemade giftsover the years, arts and crafts gifts areonly limited by your child’s imagination.Kits or gift baskets are fun to make andreceive — and the possibilities are end-less. For example, a hand painted terracotta flowerpot with a few packets ofseeds and a pair of bright cotton glovestucked inside is an inexpensive gift forsomeone in the family with a greenthumb, while a “Movie Night Kit” caninclude a favorite film, a package ofmicrowave popcorn and assorted sweetsand snacks. Your child can also create col-orful movie passes for admittance to theshow. If you can find one, a theater pop-corn tub would be the perfect package tohold all the items.

Another favorite is a coupon or gift cer-tificate, usually redeemable for a serviceto be performed by the child. It can be assimple as “Good for 2 Hours of Weeding”or “Good for 1 Car Wash” for a parent orother family member. For a sibling, acoupon that reads “I’ll Do Your Choresfor One Full Day” is sure to be appreciat-

ed. And, of course, there’s no better giftthan love: “Free Hugs All Day Long.”

Encouraging children to consider recipi-ents’ interests when creating personalizedcoupons not only makes for welcomegifts, but can be a great lesson in caringand compassion. Giving homemade giftcertificates can also be a great opportuni-ty for your child to explore their interestsand interact with adults in new settings.For instance, an offer to serve as a parent’sor grandparent’s “Personal Assistant for aDay” can create opportunities for familymembers to share quality one-on-onetime.

Once your children have produced atreasure trove of future family heirlooms,they can put the final touches on their giftsby creating handcrafted wrapping paper,gift bags and gift tags. Start with a roll ofwhite butcher paper and paper bags (han-dles optional). Break out the paints, col-ored paper, beads, ribbons, buttons andbows and let the creativity flow. Lastyear’s holiday and greeting cards are per-fect for cutting into gift tags and can alsobe used to create holiday collages on giftbags. Your newspaper’s Sunday comicscan be used whole as a fun wrappingpaper or cut up and used for decoratingthe gift packages.

The bottom line on homemade gifts? Byencouraging kids to give of themselvesthrough creative and thoughtful holidaygifts for others, they will not only learnthe joys of giving, but have a blast in theprocess.
