From Christmas Chaos to Christmas CALM

Priscilla Poynter I spent many, many years unorganized. After reading countless books and decluttering, I just had my best Christmas ever, even though I was ill Dec. 21 & 22.  I had NO STRESS.  Everything was on schedule! Let me share with you the four steps I took to move from Christmas Chaos to Christmas Calm : 1)  Write up, then type up, your Christmas Countdown .   This is what MY list looks like: Christmas Countdown January Buy Christmas cards for next year (I do actual Christmas cards, not photo cards).   Go to post office and buy Christmas stamps (I did this today, and saved myself the postage increase happening Jan. 21, 2018)  Shop online for after-Christmas sales - Christmas themed items for next Christmas (it can be gifts, partyware, decor, wrapping paper, etc.) Place large empty box or Christmas bag into closet for gifts bought throughout the year, with post-it note for who it is for, or you will fo...

Grace Livingston Hill’s Books in Alphabetical Order (with my notes)

  According to the Pattern From the link: According to the Pattern is one of Grace’s early books and it’s “off the beaten path.” The first chapter is entitled, “The Fallen Idol” and sets the scene for the rest of the story. Mrs. Winthrop, out in the park with her little daughter, suddenly comes upon her husband who is out with another woman. Not quite the usual GLH romance, is it?  Pick up a copy and share her struggle to live “according to the pattern” despite what’s going on around her. Sounds a bit like it could have been written today, yes? An interesting departure from the usual novels. 1903 All Through the Night 1945 Amorelle 1934 The Angel of His Presence (includes Gabriel the Acadian by Edith M. Nicholl Bowyer) Wonderful! A picture of The Last Supper given to a worldly man for his den changes a man’s life. 1902 April Gold Excellent! A well to do family is thrust into poverty upon the father’s death.  How will they "m...
