Christmas Planning Journal

While reading Inside Motherhood today I came across the entry, written by Heather, When Do You Start? Her question is on when do you start shopping and/or planning for Christmas. With only 140 days left I suppose it would be a good idea to start planning now if you haven’t already begun.
A small notebook or pretty journal would be good for your planning. You can list and check off presents and all those little tasks you need to get around to. You can have a financial planning section so you don’t get in over your head with debt. Why not cover & decorate a plain journal in Christmas colours to use each year? This could be a great way to use up some of those old Christmas cards. The previous years would be a great reference so you don’t leave anything undone.
I hope you found this entry useful. Please feel free to leave any comments in the section below.

What a great idea! I usually start off with a list of ideas but as the weeks and then months go by it gets misplaced and I have to start all over again. I love the suggestion of using past Christmas cards to help decorate the notebook too!
Super idea!! I just bought a journal “just ’cause”
and now I know what I’m going to do with it! I’m going to share a link to this post with the Fun Art Journaling group!
Hi Zura,
Thanks and thank you for sharing it with the others, too.
