Today we’re wrapping up our two-week Christmas series: Organizing Your Way to a Simple Christmas.

Getting organized is an important art of having an intentional Christmas, where we choose gifts and activities that will provide a lifetime of memories rather than trying to pack everything into the season and ending up exhausted and stressed out (which would also provide a lifetime of memories, just not the ones I’m going for!).

I still haven’t had a chance to fill out all of the Christmas printables for my own planner, but that is on my list for this week.

In the meantime, here are some other great resources for planning a simple Christmas:

:: 12 Weeks to a Peaceful Christmas, Simple Mom

:: 100 Small Steps in 100 Days, Just Organize Yourself

:: 100 Days to Christmas

:: Organized Christmas

:: Christmas Tour of Homes (December 14th), Nesting Place
**this one’s just for fun!

Are you ready to jump into the Christmas season? Is there anything you’re dreading?

    I always go overboard with Christmas Shopping and I get stressed about what I am going to get people. I need to be organized and enjoy Christmas.

    I am actually ready to jump in. I’m trying hard this year to prep early so I don’t feel so rushed when Dec comes. I’ve brainstormed about half of my gift ideas and am actually going to attempt a lot of handmade stuff (1) since I am planning early and have time ahead of me, and (2) I think they are more meaningful.

    I know you have your printables, which are great for planning all the details, but here is another general one from Giver’s Log that I used to get an idea of what to do when…Of course not all the items may apply to everyone, but it gave me an idea of what to write on my personal schedule when.

    I’ll have to check out your links above!
