Invitation: Christmas Planners

[Gingerbug]

If you are always saying you are going to be MORE organized for Christmas...then this is the group for you...whether you decide to create a Christmas Notebook, Organizer, or use a Computer program. We are going to go through ALL of the areas and items you need to help you be organized AND cool, calm, and collected BEFORE Christmas Eve....wouldn't it be nice to be sipping hot chocolate and tracking Santa instead of frantically wrapping gifts? Well, let's make that happen by getting set up now and working bit by bit to be ready in plenty of time...:rudolph:

You can join HERE. (http://www.mymerrychristmas.com/forum/group.php?groupid=12)

We have a poll up about the type of planners...everyone uses. I thought that might be a good place to start. AND while the Christmas Planners group will talk about the actual set up of notebooks, planners, etc...we will also talk about tips and ideas for spreading the work throughout the year, setting goals, timelines etc....So while the word planner can mean the actual physical notebook etc....it is also US....we are Christmas Planners as we work throughout the year...getting ready for the best time of the year!!! We can talk about Rudolph Days, gift closets, budget planning and other topics!!!

[Gingerbug]

Just wanted to remind EVERYONE...that you are invited to join...every time I look at the title Christmas Planners....I am reminded that WE are the planners of Christmas...so even though the group started as a place to explore setting up a notebook or a planner...we are broadening our focus...to include lots of aspects of planning.....so if you are a Christmas Planner...then hop on board...

[Gingerbug]

Okay a little update on some of the things we are doing in our Christmas Planners group. We have been looking at different kinds of notebooks and forms. Along with that we have started thinking about year round holiday prep and how to accomplish this and make the whole holiday season a little easier!

Our next project will be to compile a list of Gift Basket ideas...these are fun clever and creative.

Anyone interested in being a Christmas Planner can join our group (after having 25 posts here at the Merry forums) Please access the page to join HERE (http://mymerrychristmas.com/forum/group.php?groupid=12) Just scroll down to the bottom and look for the Join Group link!!

[fishingirl]

I need this group! I always try to stay organized, but "stuff" just keeps getting in the way! Now I see that I need to have 25 posts, so I will work on that. I hope I can join you soon!

[Gingerbug]

newbielou and fishingirl....GET to POSTING...we'd love to have you in our group...in the meantime remember that you can visit the Christmas Planner forum....scrolll down toward the bottom of the boards....you can read all our posts...you just won't be able to post yourself until you get 25 and join the group officially..!!

[jody664]

Oooh, I'm going to try to get to my 25 posts soon! I've used a Christmas notebook for the last 3 years and it has made a huge difference in my enjoyment of the season.

I was actually thinking of getting my 2008 notebook started this weekend.

[jody664]

Ooh, I'm going to have to try to get to my 25 posts quickly. I love Christmas planners (notebooks AND people)!

[Gingerbug]

Oh goodie...the more the merrier!!! I put up some info about planning for Halloween too....I know it's not really Christmas Planning but you know....planning is planning!!! LOL

[Mumof2]

Hey I like Halloween also,we plan a little party then go tric or treating.planning is the best part! :)

[SparkleNana]

How is the summer weather -- and summer activities -- affecting your planning?

[SparkleNana]

For me -- there is no planning going on. Currently trying to outlast the heat wave - and deal with all that summer has brought! But - hearing about the successful planning done by friends helps keep hope alive!

[jody664]

Well, I made it to 25 posts, but still can't get in. Bummer.

[Gingerbug]

Hmmmm...very strange..have you tried refreshing or loggin out and then back on....some people have had to dot hat for the program to "recognize" their new level. Let me know if that doesn't work.

[jody664]

Yea! I made it in!! Thanks Gingerbug. Logging out and then back in did the trick.

[Gingerbug]

Great jody...look forward to reading your posts

[patti murphy]

dang, I want to join in this also. I had better get busy and get my posts up. I sure wish I had found this group earlier. cheesy

[Gingerbug]

Don't worry patti...It won't take long to get 25...also you can still read all the posts...you just can't post in that forum until you get your 25!!

Hope to see you soon!!

[Lfisch]

Oh I can't wait until I can join this group. As a newbie here I am not quite at all my points yet. I do a year round holiday blog and holiday planners is one of the things I write most about....this will be the perfect group.

[Silverbells]

Please forgive me I'm new to the game. I want to join in on the fun but I'm not sure what post are and how do I get them? :?

[Gingerbug]

Silver....posts are what you just did...answered or responded to a post...or started a topic of your own. If you look in the right hand corner where you just made your posting...you will see how many posts you have made at the Merry forums....hope that helps!!!
