A Stress-Free Christmas: Your 10 Week Countdown to a Merry & Organized Holiday
The holiday season can be magical, but it’s often mixed with stress—between shopping for gifts, prepping for gatherings, and finding time for everything, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s why I created A Stress-Free Christmas: Your 13-Week Countdown to a Merry & Organized Holiday to help you stay on top of it all and truly enjoy the festive season.
Why I Created This Guide
I’ve always loved the joy that Christmas brings, but I’ve also experienced the last-minute panic of realizing there’s too much to do and not enough time. Over the years, I’ve learned that early preparation can make all the difference in creating a relaxed, enjoyable holiday season. I wanted to share my approach with you, so you can experience the same sense of calm leading up to Christmas Day.
This 10 week guide takes you through every step of the planning process—from budgeting to gift shopping, from decorating to holiday baking—so that by the time December 25th arrives, you’ll be able to sit back and soak in the magic without worrying about last-minute tasks.

As part of the guide, I’ve included printable to-do lists and checklists that you can hang on the fridge or keep in your planner.
