Anyone following CC this year? By this point I'm ready for all the help/reminders I can get - so I typically follow both it and the HGP as best I can...

Didn't see a post for week 1 so I thought I'd throw one out here :)

Christmas Countdown Week 1: Oct. 26 - Nov. 1, 2014

To Do This Week:

[ ] Follow the daily Countdown messages on the Web at Organized Christmas, on Twitter, or on Facebook.

[ ] Make the promise! Spend 15 minutes each day this week to get organized for Christmas.

[ ]Get comfortable for holiday planning--create a Christmas planning center in a cozy corner, desk or table.

[ ]Begin to assemble a Christmas planner, using a notebook or three-ring binder.
Decorate your planner! If you're using a clear pocket binder, print the Countdown planner cover and spine pages and insert into binder pockets. Get inspired to create a pretty notebook with Christmas planner tours and tutorials from Christmas Planner.

[ ]Add blank lined pages for any notes and records.

[ ]Print the Countdown plan calendar, and add it to your Christmas planner.

[ ]Print and post a family holiday calendar.

[ ] Values check! Review your family's holiday values privately, then a second time with family members. Print two copies of the Holiday Values Worksheet and record your findings.

[ ]Gift-buying looms! Start a master gift list. Print the master gift list and add it to your Christmas planner to record purchases and home-made gift items.

[ ]Begin a Christmas card list. Locate addresses, and consider making a computerized Christmas card address list for maximum time savings. Or, print a Christmas card list for your Christmas planner notebook.

[ ]Print a home spruce-up worksheet and complete the holiday home spruce-up exercise.

[ ]Schedule any pre-holiday home improvement projects.

[ ]Will your family travel this holiday season? Make travel plans and reservations this week.

[ ]Will you host houseguests this year? Make arrangements for any overnight guests.

[ ]Make an appointment for family photo sessions for holiday giving or photo Christmas cards.

[ ]Schedule carpet cleaning now! As the holidays approach, business picks up. Call now for your choice of appointment times.

[ ]Declutter tabletops and public rooms before you decorate.

[ ]If you haven't done so already, decorate for Halloween or Harvest celebrations.
