Deck your journal with boughs of holly!
If you read my blog, you already know what a fan I am of bullet journals! If you don’t already have a bullet journal, check out this post to start your own. Bullet journals allow you to get creative and start your own lists instead of the planners that are generic.
There are two ways to go about creating your Christmas themed lists. If you already have a bullet journal, simply add any Christmas lists that apply to you in your regular bujo. Or, as many die hards do, they actually have several planners and will have one just for Christmas. In doing so, you can have your lists as well as a Christmas scrapbook of sorts, adding any photos or other memorabilia for that years Christmas.
Make Your List and Check It Twice!
This is as simple or as elaborate as you like. This one they simply set up columns to keep track of who, what, and amount. It’s also good to keep a list of what you and your family have received in order to send thank you notes.
Stuff Those Stockings
Keep a running list of stocking stuffers when you think of them. Keep it handy when you are out shopping to grab items.
Countdown To Christmas
Keeping a Christmas countdown will help you keep track of the days when they start running together.

For those less artistic like me, there are tools to help you such as rulers, stencils,markers and more. Remember that no one needs to see your Christmas journal. You don’t have to be artistic nor elaborate. A bullet journal is a great way to relieve stress and have down time during the stressful holidays.
