It's 100 Days Until Christmas

Do you know what today is? It's 100 days until Christmas. Today I thought it would be fun to show you how I start organizing for the holidays (including Halloween and Thanksgiving) starting 100 days before Christmas. This is a pretty photo heavy post, and I'll walk you through the binder as you go through the photos.

 

I always put all the papers and lists I need in a binder. This year I decided to up my game. I decorated my binder with Paper House's new Christmas collection. 

For the first time I've added tabs. This is really going to help keep everything organized year to year.

I added little decorations from Paper House to each of the dividers. I used all flat papers and stickers as embellishments to hopefully keep everything more durable. 

Halloween and Thanksgiving each get one tab, and the rest are for all the Christmas prep.

Organizing like this helps keep the season fun and full instead of hectic and stressful.

In the past, I've used free printable lists I've found on line for organizing. This year I took the time to make my own lists and customize them exactly how I want.

It was a lot of work this year, but in the future I can just print them out every year, and make any adjustments to the forms easily.

Here's the list of all the tabs I have in order: Master Lists, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Cookies and Candy, Christmas Movies, Christmas Activities, Party Plan, Handmade Holidays, Wish Lists, Gift Lists, Packing Lists, Recipes

It makes me so happy to have this tailored to my needs.

And it's pretty now, too!

How do you prepare for the holidays?
