Do you plan ahead of time?

Soon enough Christmas once again. From this point, I’m thinking of what food to prepare for that Season. Earlier I’m scanning my Facebook for the food I prepared every Christmas and some of them are all the same. This year, I want it different. I’m thinking of pure Ham (which is too expensive during those season), sea foods like mussels and shrimp (again too expensive during those season) and curry dishes. I know it’s too soon to plan all these. It is much better to plan ahead of time so that you have plenty of days to save.

Oh yes, I like to plan ahead. Unsure what we'll be having for Christmas but my sister usually hosts.

Too soon for Christmas! Before that I have three nephew birthdays {two of them BIG birthdays,} Husband's birthday, our wedding anniversary, our kidneyversary, the arrival of a brand new nephew, and a short break away to see my brother and his girls in a foreign land! Can't be thinking of Christmas yet! But yes, it is good to plan!

I dont have plans this Christmas because My family disowned me and I also disowned them. So I will get drunk on a strip club instead. That is like my yearly tradition since I got here. There is a dinosaur themed strip club where the women wear dinosaur costumes. I heard their star dancers are named Triceratopless and Tyrannosaurus Roxy.

We always eat codfish and octopus for Christmas, so the only thing I use to plan are the presents.

@JustBhem Yes, the food is always the same, it is a tradition here. Sometimes we change the desserts.

I used to plan early especially on managing my income and expenses but I am having a hard time to catch up now. I am full of debt.

Same here. That’s why we need to plan so that our expenses will be enough.

We’re not yet thinking of that right now. We just think of it when it’s near already since there are chances it will change when you are near Christmas time.

Everything sounds delicious Bhem! I noticed that it's common nowadays for companies to include hams as Christmas give-aways.

Yes, I plan things ahead of time... It reduces worries... I like writing my plans on my notebook or on a piece of paper... I also do that when I go somewhere... I plan what to do first, and then what's next... LOL Sometimes, I even put the time...
