Christmas planning in September?
Nooooo ... my mother screams at me!
She is a firm believer in not doing anything ... except puddings, cake & mincemeat ... until December and won't let a single decoration up until Christmas Eve!
But she is just better at it all than me.
She can whip up Christmas cakes in her sleep & do pretty wintery things with twigs and a few baubles with her hands tied behind her back.
She has everyone's address in the same little book she had when I was five and knows exactly what she bought everyone for the last 10 years.
She comes up to London for the day and goes home effortlessly, laden with lovely stuff.
I got my Dad's genes when it comes to Christmas crafts & cooking ... particularly the pretty twig thing! ... so my only way of getting through Christmas is to be uber-organised.
I must have a plan! And I must start early so I can do a little bit each week.
This is the week-by-week, sanity-saving Christmas planner I have developed over the years - it's broken down into manageable chunks and stops me from worrying about everything at once & doing nothing.
You can also download the Christmas Planner in printable form here.
I hope it helps ... if you're looking for more tips & inspiration do check out all the brilliant Christmas links from other bloggers at the bottom of this post ... and feel free to add your own ...
And do come back next when I will be sharing more Christmas planning tips & printables.
