Binder! Christmas Binder! All these years I've been keeping good ideas stuck up in my head, and if a good one didn't stick, then it just wasn't meant to be. I never thought of a binder for Christmas. I've used a binder filing system to plan my wedding. I used it to organize the Greek Festival booths. I've even used it plan out my Senior Thesis- 5 complete outfits designed, patterned, sewn to fit 5 (different) live models who were going to walk down a runway. But I never thought of a Christmas Binder. Have I been doing Christmas wrong all these years?
If I were to have a Christmas Binder, it would really have to be a Holiday Binder, because I'd want to include Advent, Thanksgiving, Christmas and maybe even the 12 days up to Theophany. And Yes! Christ will still be in this Holiday Binder.
I suppose my tabs would include:
- Advent-
- Calendar,
- Meals
- Activities,
- Thanksgiving Décor,
- Christmas Décor,
- Theophany
- 12 days of Christmas Calendar
- Holiday Meals (Main dishes, casseroles, and appetizers,)
- Gift Ideas (to make),
- Entertainment
- Movies, CD's, Books and Lyrics,
- Address List,
- Favorite Quotes,
- Sweetest Memories.
I might even have to log some of our favorite ornaments and the stories that go with them. Overboard? No such thing to a woman who keeps a binder.
Seriously though, I think I will make a Holiday Binder for myself. I think I 'll start today... my first Christmas card came in the mail and I have to save the address.

In retrospect, I'd edit it to:
Advent-
- Calendar Activity,
Meals(save this for Lenten Meal Planner that already exists.)- Activities,
- 12 days of Christmas Calendar
Gift Ideas (to make),
Entertainment
- Movies, CD's, Books and Lyrics,
I am also open to suggestions....
