With Christmas and the holidays coming up wouldn’t it be nice to use a simple printable planner? A free Christmas planner?
I love Christmas planners!
As for decorating for Christmas I am holding off till after Thanksgiving as we are preparing for a wonderful time with Family at our house for Thanksgiving.
Free Christmas Planner
But in light of Christmas and the holiday season coming I wanted to share with you a Free Christmas planner. I create several of these and they are some of my best selling items in my Etsy shops. I have a couple of shops.
My one shop – Ribbonwoodcottage is primarily for patterns, making home items, little doll items and dollhouse patterns as well as a ton of Cross stitch and embroidery patterns. I would love for you to visit me here and take a look around!
* I personally can’t sit still too long and love to stitch or work on something while the tv is on or we are talking around the table…I stitch a little bit each day to process my thoughts, organize my days and stay focused.
My other blog RIBBONWOODPLANNER I have had for some time. I am a very focused and organized person and have an entire business that is focused on organizing on paper first, then my phone, then my personal home and papers, etc.Â
A lot of encouraging and workable content on that blog to make you feel inspired instead of constant overwhelm! Here is a snippet of what I am talking about How to Plan Your Days If you need ideas to be a bit more organized, not perfect, then read on. I have some good tips and ideas for you however perfection is not part of my blogging, so there is that!
But for today I have a gift for you!

I remember years ago making a handmade planner for my holiday season. A small notebook, and a small calendar were what I started with. I created an envelope to be in my handmade planner to keep receipts and then I cut up scrapbook papers to make lists, recipe cards, meal suggestions, shopping ideas, etc.
Using a Planner
There were no such things as downloadable planners, or printable papers so I relied on my own version of making one. Year after year I made a planner. I needed a place to write things down, and I wanted it to look like Christmas!
Many years later I have become a professional pattern designer and creator and now a planner designer and create digital designs, templates and workbooks for small businesses. I have several organization, productivity planners in both shops. Be sure to visit and see them.
Overall planning for me is writing things down on a big list and then adding them to the right sections in my planner. I just need to write things down and get it out of my head so that my days run better.
If it can be written down in a planner I usually add it to my calendar, however work related activities I save in my Outlook calendar of my phone. It gives me reminders, beeps, messages, etc. Write it, remember it and enjoy my day. That is what I aim for, still I am a work in progress.
Planner Pages
There are 14 pages in your free planner. and some can be run off several times if needed. The planner pages include:
Planner Sections
- Cover page

Once you write in all the things you know about. you will have a good idea how much time. you haveÂ
to work with. Scheduling your days will be simple because at a glance you will see which days will
be simple to add things to and which days that are full.
