97 days - Divide & Conquer

This countdown is all about NOT being stressed -  about doing a little each day so the Christmas hustle doesn't take over your entire life. Hopefully on Friday, you grabbed an empty binder to begin creating a Christmas Planner.

Today we are going to take it a step further and by adding dividers and some blank paper.

My dividers are: 

• Gift Lists
• Traditions
• Supplies Needed
• Christmas Cards/Mailing List
• Decorations
• Food (Holiday Menu's & Recipes, including treats!)
• Projects
• Budget (my least favorite one) A manila folder can be hole punched and added to the back of your binder for receipts.

Other dividers could include party ideas, children’s activities, and a calendar section.

Don't spend time planning each section, we' be printing out forms & discussing each section another day.

Remember: 15 minutes a day keeps the CRAZIES away!

Happy Day!

I think this is such a great idea. I'm not participating but only because we are doing a very non-traditional Christmas this year. We are heading to Disney!!! Trust me, I have plenty trip planning to do though :)

What a great idea! We've always had hectic Christmases. We've either been moving or recovering from a fire or coming off unemployment... knock on wood... this year life has calmed down. I will have an organized holiday!

I just might have to tackle this.
