Organized for Christmas

        


            Who am I kidding? I haven't even finished unpacking all of the boxes from our move 6 months ago. How am I going to organize my Christmas?! I am now laughing at myself for writing that title.
           Well, in the past I have used a site called Organized Christmas.com . I love it. I do have a sick fetish for forms. I don't know why, but, blank forms get me really excited about what I could do with them. Besides that point, I do use the site to make a Christmas notebook. I know it sounds tedious but, it really makes it so much easier. Everything you need to do for the holiday season as a whole is in one place. All of the special recipes (Jesus Cake), Christmas lists from the past couple of years (you would not believe how many times I have tried to buy the same thing 2 years in a row for someone), kids sizes, Christmas card list, etc. The different things to put in here are really limitless. The trick is to only put in what you will really use. I really like so many of them but, I really wouldn't use the memories page because I have a separate family book for that. I do however love that all of my advent things are in one place. (OH I am so excited to share some of those with you. I think you will really love it),
             The site also has a Christmas Countdown Calendar. I know it is still October but, I am telling you if you will start just a little early, you will also get to enjoy the holiday time as much as everyone you are trying to make it great for. Their Calendar started just a few days ago. Don't think you are behind, you can catch up. Besides you will probably not do everything on their calendar. You have to make it your own. Remember, I love skeletons so I can fill them out. That is true of a recipe, curriculum, even an organized calendar.
              I hope you love it. I will be making a new notebook this year I am afraid. I haven't found mine since the move and I don't want to wait to start.
             Oh inside information from using this for several years. Target has the best Christmas cards for the best price. Only, you have to get them soon. The sell out right after Halloween (or Reformation Day as some of my friends call it).
              Maybe I have inspired you to do the Organized Christmas Countdown Calendar with me. If I have, please share with me what you are doing and how it is working for you. O.K.?
