Welcome Home Saturday: Early Christmas Edition
Hi friend, so happy you’re joining me for this early Christmas edition of Welcome Home Saturday.
Plus, I am excited to welcome back Jen from Cottage On Bunker Hill who is joining us as our guest blogger today.
As we are all shifting towards this exciting season, I want to offer two pieces of encouragement amidst the busyness of it all.

From gift shopping and wrapping to children’s activities, and from community events to getting Christmas photos taken and sent, Christmas can leave you feeling like your head is spinning.
The enemies of a meaningful Christmas are procrastination and no planning.

Action step: For these things create a checklist/calendar: there are millions of free ones available on Pinterest. You can alter it as needed/preferred.
