A Christmas planner helps me prepare for the holiday season! I’ve made one of these planners for the past four years! It’s super super easy too!
I have and always will be, a paper person. I use paper planners, and this Christmas planner helps me stay organized for the holiday season. I use this for anything related to the Christmas season!
This planner is seriously the easiest thing to make! I buy a composition book at the dollar store, then I pick out some Christmas cardstock I already have on hand, cut it to size to fit the front and back covers, and tape it to the notebook. I make the logo in Photoshop, print it on cardstock paper, and cut and tape it to the top of the notebook.
For the tabs, all I do is cut a small piece of paper to be double-sided and then I hand write the tab title with a sharpie, and then staple the tab to the paper. Super easy and simple!
Here are the details of each tab!
CARDS: I’ve always kept track of who I send cards to each year, what company I use for the cards, and make a column of received and sent for the cards.
THE LIST: For each person I buy a gift for, I put in this section. I write each persons name, list of gifts, the cost, where I bought it from, and then a received and wrapped column.
TO DO: Anything I have on a to-do list for anything Christmas related goes here.
BUCKET LIST: Each Christmas season, I try my best to come up with a bucket list of things to do. I write down any ideas here for the bucket list.
MENU: For Christmas Eve / Christmas Day morning breakfast, I will write down what we are going to have in this tab. And then I’ll use this for any parties or get togethers we have that are Christmas related.
Here are the previous year notebooks I have made since 2020. The main reason I started these planners was to keep track of what I buy, and who I buy for. Family, friends, neighbors, teachers, etc. Next year, I might add an Elf on the Shelf tab, and make a tiny calendar of ideas for each day.
Making a Christmas planner has helped me each year! It might seem a bit much to some, but for me it helps me get organized with everything! I love it, and it’s super cheap and easy to do! Their are plenty of Christmas planners out there for purchase, but this will cost you at least a $1.00 or more depending on how much you want to put into the planner.
If anyone is interested, I can share what I put in each tab! Just let me know!
Happy Christmas planning!
