hi all! here is a very late christmas planner for keeping you organized. i guess it's not too late, if you have a mess of papers with lists, notes ideas and plans, this would be the perfect place to keep them together and in a place where you can find them.
And consider this- this planner will last through future Christmases so you will remember how this Christmas was celebrated with old and new traditions, decorations, family, friends, gifts, and celebrations. You may add a new calendar for next year and a few more pages so it will be a running reminder of each Christmas.
so with all that said, it's really not too late to get more organized! right? lol!

this is a closeup of the calendar, i had to use a paper clip to hold it open because the planner is in a standing position. i have included a little bag of calendar goodies you may attach to the different days
calendar goodies to add to your calendar to show fun days this month ie. when you get your tree, start the baking, first snow, and onwards.

i'm thinking of a seasonal planner for '10, but the way things are going, i'm not sure i will be able to put it all together before the first of the year! geesh!
i'll keep working and try and get our house decorated for the holidays, plus shopping, plus resting and enjoying, in the end it is well worth it, that week between christmas and new years is an especially fun family time when all the relaxing, visiting and playing happens woohoo!
try to relax and enjoy the season- remember what it really is all about and don't forget to create! good night, rest well, -rebecca
