Happy Friday to you! Can you believe it’s the last weekend before Christmas? Do you still have a long to-do list, or are you in pretty good shape? My Finish It Friday list this weekend will definitely be about finishing up the Christmas preparations. It has been a busy week of shopping…but there’s still some to do. I’m hoping that by Monday I can say “I’m done!” Okay, here’s my list…
Play List
- Wrap gifts.
- Do something to relax. I’m going to leave this open…maybe a bit of exercise, or a nap, or…who knows. But I plan to carve out sometime this weekend to relax just a bit.
To Finish List
- Decide on two appetizers for Christmas Eve. We’re having an all appetizers meal with Jay’s family on Christmas Eve—which I love. So, this weekend I just need to decide what to bring.
- Meal plan and make grocery list for the upcoming week. Crazy to think that this plan will include Christmas breakfast and dinner!
- Finish laundry.
- Clean the house.
- Finish Christmas shopping.
I’d love to hear what you have planned for the weekend. To join Finish it Friday, simply post your to-do list and your play list in the comments. Then, check back here on Monday to let us know how you did. Thanks for playing along!
Before we say farewell for the weekend, here are a couple of things to check out…
Have you seen Rebecca Cooper’s fabulous blog? She’s doing a series of posts this December called Simple Christmas. I did a guest post on her blog yesterday…which you can check out here.

I was wondering what kind of super mom/organizer you were when I realized the TO DO LIST contained everyone’s comments up to now for the weekend. Now I can take a deep breath and plan my To Do List.
1. Start with visiting some sick loved ones.
2. Calling out of town friends and family members.
3. Writing notes and making cards.
4. Study Bible and find verses of comfort for sick friends.
well this blog is great i love reading your articles.
