It’s literally the most wonderful time of the year (with a small caveat though). All that joy, wonder and magic can be a little overwhelming. Santa isn’t the only one responsible for spreading Christmas cheer and putting smiles on the faces of boys and girls everywhere. Parents are a different kind of busy during the holidays and while the looks on our kids’ faces are absolutely worth it, we can definitely do a better job of enjoying the season.
One way to do that is to make life simpler. Gifts are just one of those things that I used to obsess about because I really wanted the recipient to know how much I cared about them. While I still love gift giving, you know what drove me the absolute craziest? Gift tracking. Once you get off the high of hopefully snagging your precious purchases on clearance, there is so much real life to juggle on top of tracking whose package was where. So, in an effort to make my life easier, I created a little printable to help myself out. And because sharing is one of my love languages, I am putting my free Christmas gift tracker printable in my resource library for you to enjoy as well.
This free Christmas gift tracker printable will help you keep tabs on what you bought, for who and everything to do with getting it to your door and under the tree. You can easily see at a glance what items have already arrived and what you’re still waiting for. It’s a simple way to keep tabs on your online shopping and to make sure that you don’t forget anyone on your list. You can click here to download or on the picture above to gain access to the free letter size printable. I hope it makes your holidays a little less stressful and gives you more time to have some fun.
So far, we have put up our tree and train set and done a little decorating outside. We’re going to be traveling quite a bit in December so we’re not going too crazy on decorations this year.
What we are going big on is gratefulness, quality time and Jesus. So deck the halls with tons of folly (see what I did there?). Here’s hoping you not only create beautiful memories for your loved ones but are a part of it as well. Merry Xmas from our family to yours!
Tell me in the comments what activity you are most looking forward to this Xmas!
