This week is the beginning of our family's Christmas preparations.  Even though the first Sunday in Advent is December 2, we are starting early with our Jesse tree devotions and decorating the house.  Because I am working much more with my husband's business this year, I am finding that planning is the real key to keeping our household relatively stress-free.

Speaking of planning...  (I couldn't have asked for a better lead-in!)
