One of my favorite Christmas gifts ever was given to me by Angela—she knows me so well, and we share the same love of all things organized. It was “Kierste’s Organized Christmas”, and had everything I needed (and more) to keep things straight during the the busiest season of the year. From a pouch for receipts, to a spending ledger, budget spreadsheet, places for menus and favorite family traditions–I had it all in one convenient place. When Angela gave it to me, she gave me 5 copies, to last for 5 years, all separated with dividers for each year. LOVE it. I knew I wanted her to share it with you, so this is the story in her words…

Five years ago, I attended a class about organizing your Christmas. I really really like organization and organization tools, so this class was super exciting to me. After the class, I came home and created a binder called “Angela’s Organized Christmas”. I have a few people in my life that I thought would love to join in my crazy organized ways, so I made these for gifts. I did not expect the results to be so positive. I love when I see my mom and mother in law pull theirs out around Halloween and start making entries.
I was thrilled when Kierste asked me to share this with you on her blog. We decided to make a printable version for all of you!
The wonderfully talented and generous Stefanie at anna and blue paperie allowed us to use her holiday printables for this project. Check out their amazing website for ideas, and other printables that are perfect for all of your crafting and party needs.
Just print, slide into sheet protectors, and place into your binder!

Do over–
I made a version of a Christmas Binder several years ago–love it. Mine inserts came from Family Fun magazine.

I made something similar a few years ago, too, and gave one to my sister and my mom. I still use mine, and even enjoy looking at past years' notes. I think I'll download your printables and make a new one!

Thank you for these printables. I couldn't print off the cover page. I tried it a few times but no luck. Any idea? If so, email me at alysawhitlock@yahoo.com. I'm so excited to get organized this Christmas and plan out for the next few years. Thank you for your sharing your time and talents!
