			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every year as the leaves start turning and the sun starts setting earlier I find myself having a harder time forcing myself not to celebrate Christmas months too early &#8211; or at least not until Thanksgiving has finally passed! I&#8217;ll spare you any preemptive tidings and joy, but when I spotted this list taker over at <a href="http://erleperle.typepad.com/erleperle/2009/11/xmas-listtaker-.html" target="_blank"><strong>Erleperle&#8217;s blog</strong></a> I couldn&#8217;t keep it to myself.</p>
<p><a href="http://erleperle.typepad.com/erleperle/2009/11/xmas-listtaker-.html"><img class="aligncenter" title="List Taker" src="http://erleperle.typepad.com/.a/6a00d834516aac69e201287566e877970c-500wi" alt="" width="472" height="316" /></a></p>
<p>Hand sewn, this cute little folding book-style pouch holds not only a blank notebook for your own lists, but has little pockets for any other lists, receipts, or flyers you may need to carry around. I tend to be really disorganized this time of year, so something similar would certainly do me good. :)  Be sure to check out more of her work at <a href="http://www.erleperle.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Erleperle</a> as we get ready for holiday season!</p>
<p>Are you already starting to plan for the holidays? Let us know in the comments &#8211; whether you&#8217;re preparing handmade gifts and decorations, starting to unpack the tree trimmings, or getting ready to travel or visit family. We wanna hear about it!</p>
