The first section in my Christmas Notebook is the calendar. The calendar that works best for me has a week per page format. That way as the days get filled, especially in the latter week of December, I have more available time slots. This is much more convenient than having one box per day.
My Christmas Notebook calendar starts when I start my Christmas preparations. That probably means that it starts in August.
Most of those early pages are blank because it isn’t a to do calendar. It is simply a calendar to keep the Christmas less crazy. Only Christmas stuff is included until December. Then it does become an all-encompassing reference for my schedule.
I do include a page for the week after Christmas. There is a lot of afterwards activities and subsequent get togethers.
With this calendar I can start scheduling my gift preparations. The sewing starts early, and because there is so much of it, I can feel more organized and less out of control.
