Many households host a party or get-together sometime during the Christmas holiday season. It might be a cookie exchange with friends, a kids’ party with your playgroup, a holiday tea, a casual family gathering of food and gifts, or a more formal dinner party with just adults.
Today’s Countdown to Christmas Challenge is to begin to think about what might be happening i
n your home in December. Maybe you’ve always wanted to host a get-together in your home but never consider the details in time to organize it. Maybe your home is already designated as the hub for Christmas gatherings in your family. Don’t wait! It will only bring stress if you put it off. Start thinking about your budget, guests, food, supplies, and location.
ListPlanIt’s Holiday Party Planner is a great way to get started with your Christmas party planning. You’ll find lots more holiday planning pages in Holidays & Occasions and in ListPlanIt’s Holiday ePlanner.

Love the bags…the biggest problem I see with them is that I probably would not want to give them away! LOL!
Love the holiday planner…great starting point if you plan a big party. We just do a small cookie exchange with neighbors with when Santa comes on the fire truck. Other than that…it’s just dinners with the family.
What a great idea – so much waste at the holidays with wrapping paper being thrown out.
I’m way ahead of you with the holiday planner – already sent out “save the dates” for the family gathering and work parties. Just have to figure out the girlfriends gathering. Thanks for the reminders – they really help.
Oh those gift sacks are so cute! What a great idea!
I am so glad I’m not to the point in my life where I am the entertainer or host… We’d have pizza for Christmas dinner if it was up to me.
Thanks for such a great blog and keeping us focused, I know I need it
Last Christmas, our local grocery store had resuable grocery bags in red and green with holiday pictures on them for $1.00. I used a few of them to put gifts for friends here in town and they can continue to use the bags for their grocery shopping!
Put my name in for the gift bags! Thanks!
