December Girls---can you help me out pleaseee!!!!

Ok so with only 58 days to go and some with less and some with only a few days more than me...we need to get our butts in gear

And I am such a procrastinator...I feel like I have so much to do still but don't know what.

So can we all post what we have LEFT to do and I feel like this will help us all. Someone might mention something that I totally forgot I had to do and visa versa!!

THANKS!!
