Christmas Tips & Quotes

I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.
— Charles Dickens

Yearly Planning Calendar

Taking a few minutes each day to work on Christmas planning will greatly help your holiday stress level. Each week we will have a different letter from our ABC's of Christmas Organizing. I challenge you to work on the topic of the week for at least 30 minutes a week. It is important to spread your holiday planning out over so many months to avoid the stress of it all at one time. Each month will also have information of things that you could be working, reminders, sales, upcoming TV shows about Christmas, etc. (monthly calendar will start in September of this year).

If you are joining us after December 26 (when we officially start our journey) it is easy to go back and review over the weeks and months. While you may have missed some of the items for sale there is still pertinent information to help you get organized. Depending on what time of the year you join us it may need to work on your holiday planning longer each week to get caught up. Please visit the Getting Started section by clicking on the O in JOY at the top of the web site, regardless of when you join us.

The day of the week we begin on will always differ as it is set by the day of the week Christmas falls on. We will always begin on December 26.
