Get Ready for Christmas with a Holiday Plan!

holiday planWhat's the best road to calm and joyous holidays? It's all about the plan!

Preparing for Christmas with the help of a step-by-step holiday plan makes quick work of seasonal chores, and leaves plenty of time, energy--and money!--to celebrate the season.

Here at Organized Christmas, we're home to the Web's oldest holiday plans: the Holiday Grand Plan and CEO's Christmas Countdown.

We're also bringing you two new entries in the holiday organizing plan category: the Houseworks Holiday Plan and the Rudolph Club.

Holiday Grand Plan

Written by Katie Leckey (with lots of help from the 1993 Prodigy Homelife-Get O community), the Holiday Grand Plan incorporates holiday chores into an 18-week whole-house cleaning plan. Beginning in late August, the HGP is for those who hope to celebrate the season in a clean and organized home--and are willing to work hard to get there.

Christmas Countdown

Published on the Web since 1998, the Christmas Countdown is the classic Christmas-only holiday organizing plan. Written by home organization author, Cynthia Ewer , the Countdown is for those who want to prepare for the holidays over six autumn weeks, and cruise into December organized and ready to celebrate.

Houseworks Holiday Plan

Based on the book, Houseworks: How to Live Clean, Green and Organized at Home by Cynthia Ewer, the Houseworks Holiday Plan is designed to clean house and conquer holiday preparations. Along the way, we'll move room-by-room through the house, learning four basic skill sets for homekeeping. Small weekly holiday prep assignments break down holiday tasks and incorporate them easily into the household schedule.

Rudolph Club

Finally, the Rudolph Club offers a monthly option for those who want to prepare for the holiday season throughout the year. Organized by members of the Organized Christmas community, the Rudolph Club meets on the 25th of each month. By tackling one holiday chore per month, members spread the work--and expense--of the season over the year. Sharing makes it fun!
