We're going to have to acknowledge the calendar! It is pointing the way!
If you're really on your game this year, maybe you're ALREADY looking at a plan/calendar you enjoy and may have on hand.
However ...
As our own CEO shared with us earlier, she is bringing her site "Organized Home" to a close. So those pages won't be linkable any longer.
Her very nice letter of change and future is here.
For the holidays, of course, CEO's own writings and her site were a repository of knowledge and planning for so long. She eventually hosted a total of 3 holiday planning schedules on her site, the oldest being the venerable Holiday Grand Plan, written, I believe, by Katie Leckey, to which CEO gave a welcome home.
The others were
The House and Holiday Plan, formerly known as The Houseworks Holiday Plan, and
The Christmas Countdown, specifically for Christmas planning in just 6 weeks.
For reference, I've posted for us again in the current Art, Craft and Needlework thread (September) beside this thread, the "shorthand" of the creative gift-giving/decor aspect of the Holiday Grand Plan that I posted in 2009. HGP always started about this time of year (end of August) and I thought those brief notes might be helpful this month, and give us the flavor of starting the HGP plan, which many of us did in so many past autumns.
Please use this forum to let us know either your own plans or the plans that you are using, and any progress you are making! And if you have other references for us, do let us know.
We're interested in "how big" your holidays will be this year - in what way are you, perhaps, cutting back, OR in what ways are you going gangbusters into your favorite heartwarming, ~~~ scary ~~~, tummy-filling or partying calendar goal?
Don't forget that if you choose to create handmade gifts and/or decor, that right beside this thread, the Art, Craft and Needlework thread posters definitely want to hear about your creativity!
To refer to your own previous thoughts, reminders, ideas, menus, we're blessed to still be able to do that through previous Holiday Planning threads. Just scroll down the Creative Home forum topics to find 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, etc.
