Welcome to 100 Days to Christmas where you will find a daily dose of inspiration and motivation to help you get ahead so that you can relax through the busy holiday season knowing that you are more prepared than ever! This time of year hosts several major holidays and special occasions. Part of being ready for Christmas is knowing how to give yourself plenty of time to focus on the holiday at hand while still looking at the larger picture. If you’ve told yourself year after year that you are going to be more on the ball through the holidays NEXT YEAR, then you are in the right place! If you usually start early enough but hope to find some new ideas to add to old traditions, then you have also come to the right place. If you want to share your holiday goals and accomplishments with friends, then welcome!
Are you ready to get started? Are you willing to accept the Countdown to Christmas Challenge? Our first day’s goal is to gather the bones for your holiday planner: a three-ring binder, a three-hole puncher, 5 to 8 tabbed dividers (preferably with pockets), and a zipper pocket to hold pens and odds-and-ends. Of course, a holiday planner doesn’t have to be paper. For those who would prefer to go paperless, you can easily create a holiday planner on your computer by naming a folder and storing your ideas there. Or create a Pinterest board and name it Holiday Planner (or whatever you’d like). A holiday planner is a great place to keep 
all of your activities, recipes, schedules, ideas, and lists. It will become your “holiday central” over the next 100 days. Find out more on how to create your own holiday planner here. Each day here at 100 Days to Christmas, you’ll find the tips, tricks, and reminders to get you planning and motivated for the holiday season.
Follow along on your own or charge ahead with the 100 Days to Christmsa 2012 eBook. The eBook has bonus links to lists from ListPlanIt.com, links to recipes/crafts, and lots more through our boards on Pinterest. Find out how to get the eBook for FREE here.
ListPlanIt.com has hundreds of printable lists and planning pages, all geared toward helping you to live a more organized life. In ListPlanIt’s Holidays & Occasions, you’ll find everything you need to make any holiday a meaningful success such as calendars, daily and weekly planners, card lists, wish lists, gift lists, a cookie/candy planner, party planning pages, holiday meal planning pages, grocery lists, and so much more!

I love Christmas. I need to be organized this year especially.
I’ve been listening to Christmas music for a month, so I’m ready!!!
I love this! You always have the most creative ideas and I can’t wait to be ready for the holidays!
Just identifying a starting point and direction is motivating!
The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear! LOL! This sounds fantastic. I love being organized!
I received your first email in the 100 days to Christmas countdown this morning. I am so excited. This is the year I will be organized! Thank you!
I subscribe!!
I left a message on your wall proclaiming to the world (well sort of) that I’m participating.
I pinned this page. Now that’s something I wouldn’t have said 2 years ago. LOL! http://pinterest.com/pin/183662491024800939/

I’m looking forward to Christmas this year and want to make it fun for me and the kids. It’s the first time in years that the kids will be with me for Christmas without having to catch a plane to see their dad latter on that day. Normal they are with him and I don’t see them at all or I only get to spend the morning with them. Hoping this will make it easy for me
We are in the middle of moving, but I’m already starting to plan my new Christmas set up! YAY!
I already subscribe to the feed!! Thank GOODNESS for this blog.

I love the holidays and I always feel rushed. Can’t wait to see how your plans can help me stay organized.
I love this long holiday season. I found 100 days last year when it was almost Christmas, so I’ve really been looking forward to catching the whole season with you this year! I love lists and plans, and love to look at other people’s ideas. Let the season begin!

I started Christmas shopping a month ago! I plan on being done EARLY this year. No last minute rush!
I love Christmas so much! A local radio station here plays Christmas music 24/7 beginning the day after Thanksgiving. I’m so excited for that!
