A Christmas Planner Printable? Christmas is over! I know and I’m so thankful. It’s such a stressful time of year. From Oct on… I feel like I’m underwater! I’m ashamed to say it’s been hard to celebrate. I finally feel relieved when it’s 11:59 pm Christmas Eve. That’s when my celebration begins.
I don’t want to feel this way. I want to be able to enjoy the season. So I started thinking of what I could do and realized I just need to get organized. I created a 1 year Christmas Planner to help me remember things I needed to do, that I could do months ahead of time, to stay organized. If you’ve been feeling the same way, then you’ll definitely want to pin, print or save this planner.

January
- Create a Christmas Budget. Take a look at the past 2 months and look at what you spent for Christmas, then add 10% and start saving.
- Check Target Toy Clearance – For the past few years Target has been putting their toys on clearance this month. It’s a great way to stock up. Just be sure to buy stuff that won’t go out of date… such as Barbie, board games, Legos etc.
February
- Check Valentines Day Clearance – stock up on red wrapping and tissue paper. Look for stocking stuffers and fun stuff for neighbors and teachers.
- Look for TV deals. TV’s go on sale around Superbowl. You may also want to consider buying an extended warranty since you’ll be holding on to the TV for quite a while. But even with the warranty you should be able to find amazing deals.
March
- Check St. Patrick’s Day Clearance – stock up on green wrapping and tissue paper. Look for stocking stuffers and fun stuff for neighbors and teachers.
