Black Friday Shopping list
Cyber Monday shopping list
Gift ideas for planning
Gift giving chart for what you purchased - especially handy to keep up with online purchases
Christmas wish list (kids or adults)
Things to make
Things to bake
Things to do
Holiday bucket list
Holiday movie list
Holiday traditions
Christmas meal planning (includes Christmas Eve, Christmas morning and that day)
Grocery list
Recipes
Christmas card list |

Tentative lists?
holiday card list
schedule all your upcoming parties, travel days, vacations schedules, and family activities like shop for a tree
buy holiday cards, stamps, and gift wrapping supplies if you get down with those.
I will post links but I am blocked while at work so I will add them later.
