It’s December 1! And that means that Christmas is exactly 25 days away.
I want to help you have a meaningful, memorable, relaxed Christmas this year. Truth be told, I want to have the same.
December is usually a laid back and quiet month for our family. However, with my book launch in January, I have more on my plate this December than I usually do–especially since this is my first book and this whole process is all brand-new to me! But, even with the extra responsibilities and learning curves that accompany the book launch, I really want to be able to savor and enjoy this season–not just rush through it feeling overwhelmed and behind.
So just like the 21 Days to a More Organized Life series, I’m writing this series for me. We’ll be talking about:
- Organizing your Christmas list
- Making and sticking with a Christmas budget
- Freezer cooking for the holidays
- Memorable family activities
- Simple and inexpensive homemade gifts
- Getting your home in order
- Savoring the meaning of the season
…and much more.
I hope you’ll join me on this journey toward an organized, stress-free Christmas season! Who’s with me?

Very cool stuff. I take a somewhat harsh stance on Holiday budgets – probably too harsh for some
Let me know what you think!

I just had 7 ladies over for a card class and 3 of them were talking about this. Now I am all in the loop.
Looking forward to it!
I’m in! I actually have all of my Christmas shopping and presents wrapped for the kids, but with the head cold I’ve had for the past week, I’m a bit behind on everything else!!!
I’m totally in! We are moving in less than a week across the country from Illinois to Washington State and I need all the help I can to stay focused on a calm and meaningful Christmas!
We moved from PA to Washington State in February. I know the craziness that comes from trying to celebrate holidays and make a big move. Blessings on your family during this time.
Count me in! I set myself a goal of having everything done and ready by the 10th…. we have so many fun things planned, I don’t want to have to worry about getting the big things done. I’m really looking forward to the freezer cooking post! I’d like to get baking, or at least the dough, done. Can that be frozen in advance?

This is how I got through Thanksgiving and I’m going to use it for Christmas too! It helped me a lot!
After blogging every day last month and reading your Organized Life series, I was inspired to do a similar Christmas theme series. Praying your Christmas is truly blessed. I am #EnjoyingChristmas all month.
So wait….you say December is usually a LAID back month for you? O’m already intrigued as to how you make that happen!
I meant I’m
I’m in,too. New grandbaby so need to get organized so I can help my daughter out.
I’m in! The last week and a half, I have been so sick with an icky cold. I have yet to get up the Christmas tree! Now that I am finally feeling better, we are going to a tree farm to pick up our very first live Christmas tree tonight. I cannot wait! I think I am more excited than the kids. I have only had a live tree once in my life and I remember it so fondly.
I’m with you Crystal!
I’m in!
I am in
Thanks!
