There is no doubt about it, Christmas is getting mighty close! But what ever stage you are up to, I have the right post for you! Over the last few years I have posted a slew of Christmas related posts. So whether you need some organizational tips to get you in to gear, some gift ideas for that hard to buy for rello, some festive food and cocktail recipes, some DIY gift tutorials, some tips on what to wear or just a nice way to present a gift card – I’ve got your back! And if you have to have the Santa chat with your kids, I’ve even got a post about that!!!

Get planning with the Christmas Countdown Checklist {Things to do TODAY}, feed the hungry hoards with this  Fuss Free Festive Feast and get the house ship shape and guest ready with this Spring Cleaning printable checklist).

If you need to get your gift on, I have some Last Minute Christmas Gifting Ideas and a whole Christmas Gift Guide and if you are going gift cards ‘Tis the Season to Give Gift Cards….. And Tutorials For Pretty Ways To Do It!.

If you fancy giving a homemade kitchen gift, there’s always The Best Ever Brownies in a jar with a printable Christmas gift label or you can sew a straight line you could make some Simple Square Potholder Tutorial {The Perfect Quick & Easy Handmade Gift}. Or you could break out the glue and make some cute Vintage Inspired Hairpins and even make a cute  Accessory Storage to go with.

And on the theme of DIY-ing with glue, if you have someone who sews on your gift list, I know they would love a Teacup Pin Cushion. But if you have the sewing machine out, everyone loves a bag! Like this Handmade Handbag or The Cutest Bow Clutch.

If you fancy some festive food or beverages, these should keep the masses cheery!

• Recipe: The Christmas Tree Cocktail

• Recipe: Pink Snowball

• Recipe: Cheese Puffs

• Recipe: Apricot & Almond White Christmas

• Recipe: Prawn and Mango Cold Rolls

And none of those options float your boat, there’s a massive back catalogue of cocktails to check out and tons of picky, cocktail type nibbles to get you going! Not to mention, a bunch of dip recipes…

Working out what to wear can be tough, that’ why I posted these thoughts, What are you wearing this festive season?. Sequins are bang on trend this year, I wrote a post on sewing them for the ASG but even if you don’t sew, some are just glue jobs and there are plenty of pics to give you ideas.

And if you are reading this from a country where is it’s cold right now, you really need to read my post on what it’s like to have An Australian Christmas {The Trials & Tribulations Of A Summer Christmas }! If you have children asking those Santa questions, I have a voice post with the Ask women for you!

This has been a crazy, massive post! Phew! I hope it has helped you in some way. If you are racing off to use one or a boat load of these ideas, please share! I’d love to know what you are up to!  Wishing you a fabulous Christmas full of love, laughter and calories that don’t count! May you whizz through last minute wrapping and screaming and cooking and cleaning and primping and preening! We hope that your festivities are truly wonderful but even if for some reason they are not, try to channel Oprah and be grateful!
