Master Christmas Planner

What you get

Christmas planning usually lives in six places at once: a phone note for gifts, a calendar for parties, a receipt pile for the budget and your head for everything else. This planner pulls it onto one set of pages, starting the week of Thanksgiving and running right up to Christmas Eve.

It does more than give you blank lines. The weekly to-do pages come filled in with what to do when, from setting the budget in late November to filling the stockings on Christmas Eve. The dinner menu page lists USDA safe cooking temperatures, and the final stretch page tells you when to start thawing a frozen turkey.
