Susan, our intrepid leader, gave each of us a sheet of very special notebook paper to use for our to-do lists. She then instructed us to write down the things that we knew we needed to do soon. Would you believe I had to borrow a pen? Thankfully, the library has plenty of them!
The thought is that for February and March, we will each do Christmasy things on our own, but in April we will plan to get together for a meeting. In the meantime, we are to accomplish the things we wrote down on our to-do lists.
We took turns telling about how our Christmases had gone. We were all so happy to hear that Christmas 2019 was much more joy-filled and happy for Rachel than 2018 had been, and a good bit of that had to do with planning more carefully and not expecting a Hallmark Christmas. 😉
On Monday, I had taken time to go through my annual Christmas debriefing based on this form:
We spent the rest of the time preparing and displaying donated Christmas decor items for a Christmas decoration swap at the library. A good and productive meeting!
Oh yay! I love your Christmas club meetings. Thank you so much for sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had known about this meeting earlier, so I could have "invited" you, Vicki!
DeleteA monthly Christmas Club meeting! This is a new idea to me. What a NEAT idea. A good way to get a bit done all through the year and be inspired by others!
ReplyDeleteIt is a very neat idea, Becki! It was library director Susan's idea, and even though our meetings are a bit sporadic, they are very inspiring and the accountability is great.
DeleteLove the Christmas decor swap idea. Always interesting to hear about your Christmas club.

Thanks, Lucie! Yes, that decor swap idea was a good one. I haven't heard how much of the decor was actually taken by others.
