Get Ready for Christmas with the Christmas Countdown

What do you really want for Christmas? More time, more joy, and less stress? A calmer, more centered holiday celebration is easy with the Christmas Countdown!

The Countdown is a free six-week Christmas organizing plan from OrganizedChristmas.Com. By breaking Christmas preparations down into small, easy-to-take steps, the Countdown gives you a holiday headstart for a stress-free Christmas season. List, gifts, decor and food--you'll be ready for Christmas with time to spare.

Follow The Plan: During the Countdown, we'll follow a six-week organization plan from October 21, 2007 to December 1, 2007. Goal: to complete holiday planning and preparations by the first weekend in December.

Six Weekly Themes: Each week has a special theme to focus Christmas organizing.

Week by week, we'll zero in on gift-giving, take charge of holiday budgets, organize Christmas cards, plan holiday meals and decorate for the holidays. Find each week's assignments at the weekly themes pages:

Daily Messages: Each day during the Countdown, you'll read an inspiring daily message on front page of our site. Daily messages bring a dose of inspiration, the day's assignments, links to checklists and printable holiday planner forms, along with recipe, gift and craft ideas for a jolly holiday.

Print A Holiday Planner: During Get Organized Week, we'll begin printing more than 50 printable forms, calendars and checklists and build a personal holiday planner to streamline holiday cleaning, cooking, gift buying, and decorations. Use our pages to journal holiday memories, organize preparations and track gift-giving.

Friends and Fun: You won't prepare for Christmas alone! Share recipes, gift ideas, holiday decoration tips and fun with the interactive community at Organized Christmas Message Boards. With message boards, recipes, gift suggestions, craft ideas and holiday tips, you'll make merry with friends as you prepare for a stress free holiday season.
