I thought I woulod share these Christmas organization tips that I recently found on the internet with everyone here. I am really big on having my Christmas planning organized and these tips sounded very useful to me.
If you have any tips you would like to add, feel free to add them.
To Do This Week:
1 Make the promise! Spend 15 minutes each day this week to get organized for Christmas.
2 Get comfortable for holiday planning--create a Christmas holiday planning center
3 Set up your Christmas planner in a notebook or three-ring binder.
4 If you're using a clear pocket binder, print the cover and spine pages.
5 Insert in pockets of your clear-view binder
6 Add blank lined pages for any notes and records.
7 Make or designate a holiday planning calendar. For your Christmas holiday planner, print the Countdown plan calendar. Want more flexible calendar forms?
8 Add monthly planning calendars as needed.
9 Begin at the beginning: review your family's holiday values. Print and record your findings on the holiday values page.
10 Gift-buying looms! Start a master gift list. Print the master gift list form and use it to record purchases and home-made gift items.
11 Begin a Christmas card list. Locate addresses, and consider making a computerized Christmas card address list for maximum time savings. Or, print a Christmas card list for your Christmas planner notebook.
12 Print a home spruce-up worksheet and complete the holiday home spruce-up exercise. Plan and schedule any pre-holiday home improvement projects.
13 Will your family travel this holiday season? Make travel plans and reservations this week.
14 Will you host houseguests this year? Make arrangements for any overnight guests.
15 Make an appointment for family photo sessions for holiday giving or photo Christmas cards.
16 If you need to, Schedule carpet cleaning now! As the holidays approach, business picks up. Call now for your choice of appointment times.
