✨ Week Two: December 8–14 PLANNER

The “cozy traditions & Simple Things” Planner

GOAL: Make your home feel festive without chaos, start one or two new traditions, and sprinkle in a little kindness.

Check off each day as you complete it to your satisfaction.

(☐) THe beginning of this week – Entryway Welcome

• Task: Tidy the entry and add one simple Christmas touch

  • Hang a wreath or swag on the door

  • Set a small bowl or basket for Christmas cards

• Optional “extra”: Put a small basket by the door for gloves/hats so mornings are easier.

(☐) Wednesday Dec 10 – Hot Cocoa & Comfort

• Task: Create a tiny Hot Cocoa Station

  • Gather mugs, cocoa mix, marshmallows, candy canes, and a small spoon in one spot

• Make it fancy: Setup marshmallows, peppermint sticks, chocolate wafers or whatever you like to add to your cocoa to make it holiday special.

• Kindness angle: Make an extra jar of cocoa mix and set it aside for a teacher, delivery driver, or neighbor later in the month.

• 
  

(☐) Thursday Dec 11 – Ornament or Tag Craft Night

• Task: Pick a simple craft that doesn’t require perfection

  • Salt dough ornaments

  • Hand-stamped gift tags

  • Paper snowflakes for windows

• Family/Friends Idea: Turn on Christmas music, craft for an hour, and let “good enough” be the goal.

(☐) FRIDAY Dec 12 – Neighbors & Notes

• Task: Do one small act of kindness

  • Write a short note or Christmas card to a neighbor, widow, or friend who might feel forgotten

  • Drop off store-bought cookies or a snack if baking isn’t in the cards

• Prompt to use: “You’ve been on my mind, and I just wanted you to know you’re appreciated. Happy Holidays!”

(☐) Saturday – Tree-Trimming & Memories

• Task: Have a tree or mantle night

  • Finish decorating the tree or focus on one area like the mantle or a bookshelf

• Memory Moment: Share one short story tied to a favorite piece.

  • If you’re solo, jot those memories in a notebook to treasure.

    
    

(☐) Sunday– Rest & Reset

• Task: Light a candle, play quiet music, and take 15 minutes to breathe and look around your home

  • Notice what’s done instead of what isn’t!!!

• Journal Prompt:

  • “What mattered most to me this week?”

  • “Where can I simplify even more next week?”
