Christmas orders are starting to trickle through now. This makes me have to get organized for the great Christmas campaign. First thing we start planning is the distribution of all our orders, the Christmas orders really start going out at the beginning of December with lots of trade requests and customers that celebrate early. This year we have cut back on the number of geese with them all selling on our mail order line or for our local customers, but we have increased the number of ducks as the popularity seems to just keep increasing.
then we have to start to round up all the volunteers and workers to make sure we manage to get everything finished by 25th! At times we desperately wish that Christmas could be a moveable feast!
Each year I vow to get shopping before it gets to busy, but I think Amazon last minute ordering was made for me as I desperately order books between sticking on labels and packing orders. It is lucky for the kids that they have such fantastic Grandparents that are much more organized than I, are we the only family that Father Christmas leaves presents wrapped in carrier bags?
