I’m so very excited to announce that I’m releasing the 2016 Simple Christmas Planner today! And the best part?! I’m giving it away to all of my sweet readers for FREE!
While I was creating this planner, I tried to keep simplicity in mind while still covering what most families need help organizing during the Christmas season. There are 12 pages that pack a lot of punch!
This planner will help you set goals for your family, keep up with the busy Christmas schedules, create family memories you will cherish forever, create a Christmas budget and stick to it, organize your Christmas recipes and meal plans, and store all of your Christmas card recipient names and addresses.
It’s got everything you need to have a holly, jolly Christmas! 🙂
In the 2016 Simple Christmas Planner you will find:
FAMILY GOALS
At the beginning of the planner, you will have the opportunity to set goals for your family’s Christmas. It’s a great way to set priorities. Before December even begins, sit down with your family and let everyone pitch in!
DECEMBER CALENDAR
The next two pages give you a December calendar to schedule in special events, holiday parties, craft projects, advents activities, or shopping trips. 🙂
I also created a place to make a list of all of the fun Christmas activities you want to do as a family. A few ideas include making gingerbread houses, visiting a live nativity, drink hot chocolate while watching a Christmas movie, make a special ornament for the Christmas tree or drive around to look at Christmas lights in your jammies. Use your family goals to help you create this list so that you are being intentional about the time you spend together!
CHRISTMAS BUDGET & SHOPPING LISTS
The next section is all about creating a budget and shopping for Christmas! This is probably my favorite part! 🙂 The first page of this section is setting your Christmas budget for each category.
Then you can begin coming up with gift and stocking stuffer ideas as well as a final shopping list that you can take with you to the store {or if your like me you will take it to your computer so you can shop on Amazon
! :)}
CHRISTMAS BAKING & MENU PLANNING
Then you will find a place to create your Christmas dinner menu as well as a place to house those special Christmas recipes you find on Pinterest to make with your kids!
CHRISTMAS CARDS
Finally, I made a printable for you to write down all of your friends and family you want to send Christmas cards to this year.
I’m storing my Christmas planner printables in my home management binder this year, but you could totally make an entire Christmas planner all on it’s own! I printed the first page all on it’s own. I then printed the rest of the pages front and back.
This Christmas planner is simple and to the point. It’s meant to help you be more purposeful with your time this Christmas! I hope it helps you stay just a bit more organized this Christmas!
