Christmas Planner PDFs to Help Plan Your Holiday
It’s that time of year again when things can sometimes get a little hectic and overwhelming. To help you get through all the holiday to-dos, I’ve created two Christmas planners: a free version and a premium version.
November 19, 2021 Update: We have updated our premium planner. The photos shown here will look a little different. Also, the planner has more helpful pages including kids’ activity pages.
Let’s check out both Christmas planners to see which one will best fit your needs as you get your holiday affairs organized.

Final Thoughts on Our Christmas Planners
Remember, if you are not planning a big event and do not have a lot of gifts to get this year, then I suggest going with the free Christmas planner.
However, if you are throwing a dinner, a large event, or just have so many overwhelming tasks to do during the holidays like shopping for lots of people, then I suggest the premium version so that you can plan out your days until Christmas and reduce all that holiday stress.
My hope is that you will find both Christmas planner versions helpful, no matter which one you decide to get.
