Santa’s Christmas Planning

Sep 30, 2019 | Christmas, Stampin Up, Video | 0 comments

We are about a month into the Holiday Catalog and I can already feel Christmas.  This video is a great way to get you in the mood.  It also seems to help with Santa’s Christmas planning.  Let’s see what Santa is up to before the big night.  

I always love when I see the first signs of Christmas.  That is what this video represented for me.  Even though they are starting early in the stores, this video has the music and the setting all wrapped up into one.  Visit my online holiday store here.  Have you started your Christmas shopping or are you relying on Santa’s Christmas planning too?
