Calendars Ready!

99In order to make things as simple as possible, it is important to have a realistic idea of your goals for the holidays and set a timeline for which to accomplish them. Planning ahead is key.

Countdown to ChristmasOne way to do this is by completing today’s Countdown to Christmas Challenge. You will first need to print or copy calendar pages. You can use your own, or help yourself to the following templates from ListPlanIt.com for September*, October*, November*, and December*. Three-hole punch each page and place them in the front of your holiday planner.

There are several holidays and special occasions between now and Christmas. You can find a list of them here. Be sure to mark them on your calendar pages. Here at 100 Days to Christmas, we will be figuring these days into our planning.

    The Christmas season is my favorite time of the year. I LOVE everything about it. I have listened to a few Christmas cds, movies and pulled out some Chrismtas books. We have been doing our annual family discussion and family planning time for Christmas. This is my first year following your plan, can’t wait.

    Thanks for the giveaway! I love Christmas but honestly I am very stressed out right now and stressed about Christmas only being 99 days away. Funds are tight and I am wondering how we are going to enjoy the approaching holidays on limited funds.
