J is for JOURNALING

ournaling

Journaling is used to help you explore a wide variety of likes and dislikes about your holiday season. Journaling will help you determine what to include (or not to include) as you map out your holiday plan. Remember to be honest with yourself when journaling or you will not be working toward the holiday celebration you dream of.

REFLECTING

Sit down and on the first page of your notebook write out what you liked about this past Christmas, what you did not like, what you would change and how to change them, what you did not get to do that is a must for next year (like sending Christmas cards to everyone on your list or mailing packages so people get them before Christmas). Leave some extra space so that you can fill in things later as you think of them. Also write a paragraph about your most memorable Christmas - why was is so memorable? do you still do some of the things at Christmas now? how can you put a little bit of that Christmas into next Christmas?
