Christmas starting early

When I was writing my post on Twinkie Chan, I noticed she had had an awesome pattern for popcorn garlands.  I have not been really creative in awhile and it's bumming me out.  I got the pattern from her and decided tonight to work on my decorations for the holiday's.  I know it's 11 months away but time goes fast and I get too busy.  Tonight I am gonna hit up Jo Ann's after work and buy stuff to make her popcorn garlands and stuff to make crochet christmas lights.  I'll be done by Dec. right!?!  If I'm not, there's absolutely no help for me.  What other holiday's should I be decorating for?  I really want to make some stuff for summer...

Suggest some great holiday craft projects here! Please!
