One of the best things I’ve done to keep the holiday season organized each year is create and use a Christmas planner. I made mine up a number of years ago and simply re-use the same one year after year. I love having everything I need right at my fingertips making for less stress and chaos all around. I highly recommend starting one if you haven’t already and to encourage you, and to make life super easy, here are some free printables to help you to do just that. Use the printables below to fill your binder to help you organize everything to do with the holidays from gifts and cards to recipes, menus and parties. Pick and choose the ones that work for you and your needs and don’t worry about the rest 🙂

If you are planning a Christmas Cookie Exchange these super cute free printables will be a big help and if you add them to your holiday planner you’ll have them ready to go when you need them.
Finally, for those that have Elves up to no good, add the above Elf on the Shelf planning calendar, from Organizing HomeLife, to your planner to keep track of the mischief. And if you are stuck on ideas, here is a list of 24 Easy Elf on the Shelf Ideas, from Ask Anna, that might make your life a little easier.
Here’s to an organized Christmas holiday season everyone!!

Christmas this year has been SO much easier because I decided to use a Gift Tracker. Any ideas for gifts got put on there, as well as what things I did buy, where they are in the house, if it still needs to be wrapped. Seriously. Christmas, for the first time in my life, is completely under control. Who would have thought a peice of paper with some lines on it would be so amazing, but it’s true!

Oh Laura, thanks for featuring my printables again! I’m loving those Christmas Cookie Exchange printables too – the designs are so sweet 🙂
Hope you and yours have a wonderful Holiday Season,
All the best,
Eliza.
