The Merry Little Christmas Project: Daily 20 Minute Missions

By

The Merry Little Christmas Project is the result of my desire to simplify and make Christmas more meaningful this year – and offer resources for you to do the same.  If you haven’t joined us on Facebook yet, be sure to do so!

According to my Christmas countdown app, we have 63 days until Christmas as I write this – 9 weeks until Christmas Eve!

In days past, I have been the one to resist anything Christmas-y until much much later in the year.  After all, don’t we need to celebrate Thanksgiving first?

But what if by beginning our Christmas prep earlier and taking it one chunk at a time, it would FREE us up to truly soak up the holidays?

Well then…I’m all in!

SO that’s why I have been working behind the scenes on what I like to call my 20 Minute Missions Daily Calendar (through November).

  • The plan?  To set aside 20 minutes a day (M-F) to complete one Christmas-related mission
  • The goal? To complete as MUCH as possible (including shopping!) before December 1st, so that we can truly enjoy the holiday season

I’d LOVE for you to join me.  You can check out my Daily Mission calendar here.  Feel free to use mine or create your own.

If you prefer to tackle your goals weekly instead of daily, here is a list of what my weekly goals look like:

Week 1: Planner chosen and ready to go; Budget in place.

Week 2: Photos ready to make gifts/ Plan for making gifts in place/Begin asking for gift lists.

Week 3: Christmas shopping 1/4 done. Calendar ready; donations plan in place.

Week 4: Christmas cards ordered; Menu and grocery list planned, Christmas shopping 1/2 done.

Week 5: Address labels ordered, stamps purchased, Christmas shopping 3/4 done.

Week 6: Toys donated/Christmas shopping done!

Week 7: Christmas present wrapped; Christmas cards finished and sent; Two batches of cookies frozen.

Week 8-10: Stay tuned!

I’ll be posting about my progress daily on The Merry Little Christmas Facebook page and inviting you to do the same.

Are you in? 

Our goal this week? Begin our Daily 20 Minute Missions!

In case you haven’t hopped on the Jingit wagon yet, I just wanted to take a moment to really encourage you to do so.

I have been amazed at how quickly my earnings have added up.  I currently have over $19 on my Visa debit card simply from watching a few minutes of ads each day.

I recommend bookmarking this post that I wrote up with the latest Jingit ads.  I have found several more ads in addition to the original ones on the Walmart site and will continue to keep it updated with the latest ads.

I figure this is a fantastic way to help supplement your Christmas budget.  I’ve been earning about $1.50 each day.  If that continues, I’ll have over $70 by the time Christmas is here–that will take care of several gifts!
