Planning is necessary, so we can fit in everything and enjoy the holiday season. Starting from November and running through the middle of January, we tend to participate in or host several events, either at home or outside the house, during this time. To help you keep your expenses in check and your day more organized, I created this ebook to help you plan the holiday season, so you don't overspend or get stressed later. Read on to see how you can save money and time during the holiday season in this FREE 48-page ebook.

My Story about Why I love this Holiday Season Planner

First, let me tell you why I created this planner. We hosted several parties throughout the holiday season since my husband and I married over 25 years ago. It has become our thing in both our families. At one point, we had five parties during this time of the year, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, My family holiday gathering, my husband's holiday gathering, and New Year's Eve. These events happened for more than five years. This wasn't just meals we would serve. We created fun games and crafts activities for the kids and adults. We all made theme meals for the individual parties and organize the family members to bring side dishes/desserts for each party. If I didn't have this planner, we wouldn't have been able to organize the parties inexpensively, and we wouldn't have been able to enjoy them. It was a necessity to keep spending down and time managed.

    I can't imagine hosting five big events in a year, never mind a few weeks - you're truly amazing! It's just as amazing that you've created this comprehensive planner and are just giving it away. Thank you!

      It was a little crazy, but with some planning, it worked out great, and everyone looked forward to the parties each year. Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Janet. It's much appreciated. =)

    Can't go wrong with a free holiday planner, especially from someone as experienced as you, Sabrina! I know you've been entertaining, and organizing, and creating free check lists for years. I'll definitely share this with my readers. Thanks!

    What a lovely (and timely) resource to share with people. Someone who has hosted this many parties between Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve certainly is organized. Just hosting one of those can feel like a lot.

    Sometimes it feels like the holidays are a part-time job. Getting everything planned out in advance is the secret.

      October 10, 2022 at 11:52 am

      I get that! Sometimes people hesitate to be a host because they feel overwhelmed. I hope this ebook will help them with that as well as gift giving and saving money.

    I am amazed at how many parties you have hosted. You and your families are so blessed to all get together and to celebrate these special times. Best of luck with your ebook.

    I love how you developed your Holiday Season Planner from your years of entertaining experience. Your guests are so lucky to have you as their host because you think of everything and find ways to make each event extra special.

    This season we plan to host two events- Thanksgiving and New Year's, which feels manageable. There could be some impromptu events, but these two we are definitely doing. It will be great to celebrate with family and friends. I don't have planning book like the one you created. Instead, I update word documents specific for each event. Those work well for me.

    Here's to a wonderful holiday season and happy hosting!

      October 10, 2022 at 8:49 am

      That's wonderful, Linda! There are so many things to do when hosting parties. Keeping your budget and time is essential so not to get overly stressed. Thanks fro stopping by and commenting. =)
