I really enjoy getting greeting cards from loved ones. The eCards are nice, but there's still nothing like receiving a good old-fashioned card in a gift bag or in the mailbox. That being said, if I kept every single gift card I've ever received, my house would be filled with them. I don't recycle all of them, but I do have 'Greeting Card Rules.'

When I receive greeting cards, I display them on my fireplace mantel for two weeks, during which time I thoroughly enjoy them. Once the two weeks are up, I only keep those that have personal messages from the sender that are very meaningful for me.--usually these are at least a paragraph long versus a quick, 'With love from Sally' written in them.

Those that I keep are stored in pretty boxes (which I picked up at a local craft store) organized by occasion, like birthday, anniversary, congratulations, etc. and I have two of these boxes, taking up very little room in my closet. Every now and then, I go through them and reminisce. The rest of the cards are recycled. This helps keep the potential greeting card clutter from developing.

Christmas is supposed to be the season of joy, warmth, reflection, and good will. Why then, is it such a stressful time for so many people? There's no doubt about it. Once Thanksgiving ends, life gets busy.

There are holiday cards to be sent. Gifts to be purchased or made. Holiday dinners to plan. Church, community, and family get-togethers to attend. Holiday treats to bake. Stockings to stuff. Tree trimming, gift wrapping, and getting your house ready for company. The list is endless.

It's no wonder there's so much stress and exhaustion at Christmas-time.

The good news is, it doesn't have to be that way.

That's where my Christmas Holiday Planner comes in. You see, knowing about all the stress and frustration so many people experience this time of year, I thought to myself, 'There has to be a better way...Christmas is supposed to be a joyful, cheerful time.'

And then, suddenly, it hit me. I had to do something to help folks plan and prepare better. I had to help get all of the information, ideas, and notes into one place. It needed to be a cinch to use. It had to have the ability to store information that almost everyone who celebrates Christmas needs to have handy. And it had to be cost-effective.

And that's how the Get Organized Now! Christmas Holiday Planner was born. It's ready to help you experience your most organized Christmas ever this year!
