So many holidays, so little time!

There is no denying it…the holiday season is fully upon us. If you think about it for too long, it will start to stress you out – and it’s only the beginning of September. There is SO much to celebrate that it’s hard to know where to begin:

• Back to School – “We survived the first week/month of school!”
• Football season – high school, college, professional…your choice
• First day of Fall – September 22nd (for those of us who live in the northern hemisphere)
• Pre-Halloween – great way to get more wear out of your costume
• Halloween – enough said
• The entire month of November – November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month, American Diabetes Month, Lung Cancer Awareness Month and National Homeless Youth Awareness Month.
• Thanksgiving – November 26th
• Pearl Harbor Day – December 7th
• Hanukkah – December 12
• National Re-Gifting Day – December 18th – Now this is a day to celebrate!
• Christmas – of course!
• New Years Eve
• New Years Day – depending on how “big” you partied on New Year’s Eve!

So, where on earth do you begin? First, let me recommend you make a plan.

1. Start with how often you want to have a party – once a week, once a month, once. 
2. Then, decide which occasion(s) make you the happiest and will be the most fun to celebrate. 
3. Lastly, start your preparations early – so you have maximum fun with minimum stress!

And to help you even further, we are going to give you ideas for all of the occasions listed above – complete with links to fabulous sites that provide unbelievably brilliant ideas!

First up…Back to school. Stay tuned, ideas will be coming VERY soon!
