If you’re anything like me, you probably think you’ll do a bunch of festive things every year… and then suddenly it’s the 23rd, you’ve done nothing except work, scroll, and maybe light one sad candle. No judgement, bestie. That’s exactly why having a simple Christmas checklist is a lifesaver.
This one keeps things fun, realistic, and easy to plan. You can print it, screenshot it, stick it on your fridge, or pop it into your planner. The goal is simple: intentionally make space for the cosy things, so Christmas doesn’t slip through your fingers again.
Your Christmas Checklist
Tick everything off, or pick the ones that give you the sparkly feeling.

How to use this checklist
Print it out or save it digitally, then sprinkle these activities through your calendar. One or two a week is enough to keep the festive energy alive without overwhelming your schedule. You’d be surprised how much Christmassy joy you can create with a tiny bit of intention.
If you want the full step-by-step plan for actually making this happen (without procrastinating until the 23rd again), check out my main post: How I’m bringing back my Christmas spirit this year.
