December doesn't have to be a scramble.

Most Christmas stress is just planning that started too late. The Christmas Planner breaks the season into weekly moves — gifts, cards, events, baking, budget — so December feels like a season again instead of a deadline.

The season, in weekly moves

• Gifts — lists, budget, bought and wrapped tracking

• Cards — the list, addresses, and a send-by date

• Events — parties, school dates, tickets

• Baking and hosting — menus and grocery runs

• After Christmas — returns, storage notes, and what worked for next year
