What do you consider the most valuable section(s) of your Christmas notebook. To be honest with you I hadn't used mine regularly in a couple years and then last year I did....it REALLY made a difference. For one thing as long as I know it's in the notebook I don;t have to feel all crazy (lol) trying to keep track of it in my head. These are the sections I used better last year and am again this year too:
Gift List: I've always used this one but I also added a little place to mark when it was actually bought and when it was wrapped!!
Stocking Stuffer and Elf Gifts: Have always used stocking list but added the elf gifts and ideas so we didn't end up with five holiday coloring books...lol
Baking and Menus: Last year I took this to a more organized level by selecting cookies/menus earlier and making the master ingredient list. Then I shopped each week for items needed. This worked out VERY well even though there were some items I still had to wait closer to an event for...but it sure helped the budget!
What sections to you use and have they made a difference??
