Printable Christmas Planner

The holiday season can get pretty overwhelming when you don’t have a plan. This is why I have created a printable Christmas Planner to help you get ahead and stay on track not only with all of your gifts but also with your holiday expenses. It's never too early to do some Christmas planning.

No one wants to be a Scrooge during this time of year, but it can happen when you feel stressed. 

Using this ultimate Christmas Planner will help you to enjoy the holiday season so you are ready for Christmas Day and Christmas Eve. 

Anything to make the holiday stress-free and I am totally in. I absolutely love having holiday checklists but it can get to be a bit too much when I have them spread out in multiple notes on my phone.

I like to have an organized Christmas from all of our holiday meals, busy schedules, holiday crafts, grocery shopping, baking, chores, wish list items, menus, and all the other millions of things I need to keep track of. It's nice to have it all in one place.

Christmas Budget Overview

Breaking down your holiday budget will help you to see how much money you need to allocate to each of your spending categories. This will give you an aerial view of your upcoming expenses.

This worksheet in the Christmas Planner is broken down into categories, but there is also a spot to fill in your own categories as well. 

• Gifts

• Wrapping Supplies

• Cards & Postage

• Decor

• Food

• Parties

• Photos

• Clothing & Accessories

• Donations

• Other

Once you have it printed out, you can start to fill in your budgeted amount for each category. 

For example, you might allocate $50 for new holiday decor items or $100 for family Christmas photos. After you’ve filled in your budgeted amount you want to add it up to get your total. 

This will give you a better idea of how much money you need to set aside for the holiday season for each category. 

It’s okay if you don’t know the exact amounts or are unsure right now. 

If you need to, come up with the total amount you have to spend for Christmas and then break that number down into each category.

Then, as you start spending you can fill in the actual amount so that you can get a better idea of your budget for next year. 

Gift Budget

Christmas gifts are one of the biggest expenses throughout the holiday season and it is the top category that can break your budget. Keeping everything organized and on track with your gifts can actually save you money during the holidays. 

Once you have printed a copy of the Christmas Planner you can take out this budget tracker and decide on your gift budget. You can do this as a whole, or break it down by each person. 

For example, you might decide that your entire gift budget is going to be $500, or you might budget $100 per person that you are purchasing gifts for this holiday season. Whichever works best for you. 

In the Christmas Planner, you will see two different options for keeping track of your gift budget. 

The first option gives you one sheet to budget for multiple people’s gifts. If you choose this one, you can fill in the total budgeted amount for all your gifts and then fill in each person’s name with the gift ideas, budgeted amount and then the actual amount spent. 

The second option gives you the opportunity to break it down by individual people. This page is better if you purchase multiple gifts for one person.

On this page, you can fill in the name of the person, the budget amount for that person and then any gifts you want to buy them. As you purchase the gifts you can fill in the price you paid and check off once you’ve wrapped each gift. 

You will also see there are a few different gift list options to also help you to stay within a budget for teacher’s gifts, neighbor’s gifts, friend’s gifts, and even co-worker’s gifts. 

Food, Decor, etc. Budget

The Christmas Planner also includes a budget worksheet for some of your other major holiday expenses like food (or cookies!) and Christmas decorations. There is also a blank one you can fill in if you have other expenses.

These worksheets are here to help you plan a budget for different items and try to stick to it by tracking all of your spending.

Online Order Tracker

The online order tracker will help you to keep all of your shipments organized. 

If you are like me and have to hide all of your packages as soon as they get delivered 🎅 It’s nice to keep track of when things got shipped. I don’t always get to open the boxes to check everything immediately and it starts to get confusing.

On this page, you will see a spot for:

• Date purchased

• Item description

• Who it is for

• The website you purchased it from

• Shipped

• Received 

This will help you to keep track of all your online purchases and then check each one off as it ships and gets delivered. 

Black Friday & Cyber Monday Plan

The black Friday and cyber Monday pages give you the opportunity to plan ahead and fill in the budget you are allowing yourself for each day along with any items you want to keep track of. 

As we get closer and closer to those days you will start to see all kinds of deals and promos popping up. You can use these worksheets to track the items you want to get along with the discounted price so you know which place has the best deal.

You can also track what you buy to make sure you stay within your budget.

These are just some of the awesome pages included in the Christmas Planner. If you are ready to get organized for the holiday season and keep your finances under control, download a copy of it today.
