Let go of the stress and overwhelm this holiday season with our printable Holiday Planner! It's designed to move every holiday detail out of your head and onto paper, all in one place. Doesn't the stress already feel lighter just thinking about it?
This holiday planner is more than a stack of pages that will sit on your counter. Use these pages as intended, and you will get the holidays back and enjoy them again!
This is the time of year when I start to feel serious anxiety about how I'll manage All.Of.The.THINGS.
There are parties to plan, gifts to buy, treats to bake, meals to prep, decorations to put up (and for me: photograph and take down), and a house to clean! The list never seems to end. And the worst thing I can do in those moments is try to keep it all in my head.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this season, but honestly, I usually end up a lot more surviving than enjoying.
So, I made something that takes the chaos out of Christmas (and Thanksgiving, too!) and keeps you organized!! I made it for myself because I love a good planner or binder for keeping me sane. I've used one for many years now and have seen how much it helps!
Here's my thinking. If I start in October on things like Christmas photos, ordering Christmas cards, planning special events or hosting a baking day, then I'm much more likely to enjoy the moments I've worked so hard to create. So let me help you map out everything you may want to do (or intentionally NOT do) this coming holiday season.
Drumroll, please …

Tips for Using the Holiday Planner
1. Print it Out. I have a good color printer at home (the ink lasts a long time, it prints well, it's wireless, and I never feel like kicking it), which is where I print my printables 99% of the time.
If you don't have a printer at home, I'd suggest Office Depot or Staples. If you want to get fancy, you can use Avery 8164 shipping labels for the box labels (or plain sticker paper) and some card stock for the gift tags. You can also print the box labels on card stock and attach them with packing tape. Other than that, I just use regular printer paper.
2. Hole Punch It. I use a cheap 3-hole punch to make the printables fit in a binder.
3. Put it in a Binder. I own tons of binders all over my house because I'm obsessed, but this planner fits in a 1/2-inch binder. I like a binder with pockets so I can keep extra things in it. This one looks perfect!
Tip: Only print the pages you'll use! There's no need to print everything unless you're sure you'll use it all. So, save your ink! I included everything I could think of, and even I won't use every single page in the binder. For example, if your family stays home for Black Friday and doesn't go shopping, there's no need to print the Black Friday Shopping List. Easy peasy!
LOVE THIS FOR AN INTENTIONAL CHRISTMAS SEASON
I LOVE this holiday planner! It takes the guesswork out of a frantic time of year. I like how I can set a goal for the season and enjoy time with my kids. A successful Christmas takes planning, and so does doing all the special things with my kids. This holiday planner is already helping me stop feeling frantic about the season and approach Christmas with my family on purpose. BEST CHRISTMAS investment!
