I have come to learn that in a household, one person becomes the Christmas Elf — the one who makes a memorable holiday come about. We’re the ones who stay up late or get up early, and generally ensure that the holiday spirit is spread far and wide. The others think it just happens — as if the Christmas Elf just materialized as needed.

Yes, my name is Harry, and I am a Christmas Elf. But I love it, however …

I’ll admit it, I am pooped tonight. Yes, Prohomemaker is wiped. I’ll head to bed, now after the fudge is ready for the neighbors and I made another cornbread for dressing later this week. And, I’ll be back up tomorrow to go to work.

But just wanted to tip you off to do a to-do list. Start backing out the holidays to ensure you get the most important tasks done.

Yes, that means some get shoved aside.

These are my top priorities:

Everything else goes to B items, including my business Christmas cards. I’ll do my best, but it’s time to say what’s most important.

So the thought for the day is prioritize. How are you doing?

P.S. I was going to move the image up in this post that I changed from last year, but it’s time to prioritize.
