I like to keep gifts for family and friends in the saved section of my shopping cart at Amazon.com. Then when it's time to buy, one click takes care of everything. Happy Holidays!

Great contest! One of my tips for organizing (and a fun one too) is to have the kids make a Christmas list with all their requests and decorate it. We keep these on the fridge and have made copies for grandparents. It makes it easy for everyone to know what to buy. I make sure that the kids keep requests simple and inexpensive. I think this helps avoid holiday anxiety over trying to find the "perfect" present. Hi Joe! Great contest!

The things that I found the best for us was to use a calender. I keep track of my daughter's school schedule and the other holiday parties on there. I also start planning early by calling in October to my inlaws, so we can plan on when and where we will be spending Christmas with all of them. <em>Lisa's last blog post..<a href='http://mythoughtsideasandramblings.com/2009/12/06/believe-and-win-25/' rel="nofollow">Believe and Win $25!</a></em> With family in 2 states, organizing our holidays tends to be interesting.

All info is kept on a main calendar that the family sees and checks. My Yahoo calendar is set to email me reminders of things I need to do, right down to paying bills and buying a gift on sale. A permanent To Do List is posted on our fridge. That includes appointments and what is needed at the store when we run out, when a school project is due, when we want to have a meal out, etc. It would be nice to have everything in one place and Qwest seems like the answer for my busy family. And the photo storage would really make my life easier too. <em>ConnieFoggles's last blog post..<a href='http://brainfoggles.com/2009/12/08/patient-style-slipper-socks-product-review/' rel="nofollow">Patient Style Slipper Socks Product Review</a></em> I use a 3 way system that creates a no-fail system.
