The essential 2021 holiday do-date calendar
Oct. 21, 2021 • 1 min read
It's peak holiday season! There is so much to enjoy from seasonal lattes to local festivals, but to reduce the stress that so often accompanies the merriment of the season, planning is key.
From presents to parties, making a schedule for the months ahead will help you get everything done in time — and on budget — ensuring you don’t lose your holiday cheer in the process. It always pays to make purchases in advance, but due to ongoing supply chain issues, you’ll especially want to shop early this year, whether it’s for the hottest toys, seasonal decor or food for your feasts.
To stay organized and on-track during the month of December, use our calendar as a guide, and feel free to add your own personal to-dos as well.
December can feel laden with deadlines from the last day for ground shipping to your school district’s winter break. Minimize the guesswork by setting a target date for mailing holiday cards, shipping gifts to out-of-town family, gift-wrapping, and hand-delivering gifts for teachers. Don’t forget about making end-of-year charitable donations as well.
The holiday season can certainly get hectic, but with proper planning, you’ll easily check everything off your to-do list and have more time and energy to celebrate.
