Christmas Preparations
Checklist
Keep the magic. Lose some of the Christmas chaos.
The Havenly Life Christmas Preparations Checklist gives you one organised place for presents, cards, decorations, food, plans, wrapping and all those tiny festive jobs that somehow multiply every time December gets closer.

A little look inside
Your Christmas Preparations Checklist separates festive planning into manageable sections so you can slowly work through December without carrying the entire Christmas to-do list in your head.
β¦ HOW TO USE YOUR CHECKLIST β¦
Prepare for Christmas one little section at a time.
Start early if you can, fill in the sections that apply to your Christmas and tick jobs off only when they're genuinely finished. You don't need to complete everything in one sitting.Add Your Christmas Details
Start with the year and any important dates, visits, celebrations or plans you already know about.
Make Your Present List
Write down who you're buying for, any gift ideas you already have and anything that's been bought or ordered.
Track Ordering & Wrapping
Keep an eye on gifts that still need ordering, deliveries you're waiting for and presents that need wrapping once they arrive.
Sort Cards & Post
Add anyone you'd like to send cards to, check addresses and make a note of anything that needs posting rather than hand-delivering.
Plan Decorations
Check what decorations you already have before buying more, note anything that needs replacing and decide when you'd like to put everything up.
Plan Christmas Food
Write down Christmas meals, snacks, drinks, desserts and any special ingredients you need. Add anything that needs ordering or collecting in advance.
Prepare the House
Add the home jobs that genuinely matter before Christmas β guest bedding, a quick clean, clearing space, checking decorations or making room for approximately six tonnes of Christmas food π.
Do Your Final Christmas Check
In the final few days, look only at the unticked boxes. Check presents, cards, food, timings and anything that still genuinely needs attention β then let Christmas actually begin.
β¦ INSIDE YOUR CHECKLIST β¦
All the festive preparations, without one enormous Christmas list.
The checklist gives each part of Christmas planning its own little space, making it much easier to see what's already sorted and what still needs doing.THE HAVENLY WAY
Christmas is allowed to feel magical without being perfect.
You don't need matching wrapping paper, twelve homemade desserts and a house that looks like Santa personally styled it π. Choose the traditions and details that matter to you, prepare what genuinely helps and leave some room to actually enjoy December.Use the Printable
Print your Christmas Preparations Checklist and keep it with your festive planner, gift lists or Christmas paperwork. Tick things off gradually as December gets closer.

Open Interactive Checklist ββ¦ LITTLE CHRISTMAS REMINDERS β¦
Keep December lovely enough to actually enjoy it.
Start gifts early
Ordering gradually can make December feel much calmer and gives you time to deal with delayed parcels or unavailable gifts.
Add important dates
Write down events, visits, delivery cut-offs and anything that needs doing by a specific day.
Check before buying more
Have a look through wrapping paper, cards, decorations and festive supplies before accidentally creating your own Christmas shop.
Leave space for Christmas
Not every December day needs to contain another preparation job. Leave room for films, food, lights and doing absolutely nothing useful.
