I want one Christmas budget I can pay in cash, one list for every gift, and one plan for both holiday meals.
This bundle is built for that. You get the Christmas Budget Planner, the Christmas Gift List Tracker and the Holiday Meal Planner together, for $12 instead of $15 if you buy them one by one. Set a budget that feels fair for every child, check off every gift as you buy, wrap, ship and give, and plan Thanksgiving and Christmas — guests, the menu, the grocery list and the cook-day clock.
How it works
1. Open the Start Here guide, then unzip each planner.
2. In the Budget Planner, type your total Christmas budget, add up to 6 children, and build a payday savings plan until December 24.
3. In the Gift List Tracker, add every person on your list and plan each gift, with a status from idea to given.
4. In the Meal Planner, add guests and dietary notes, plan the Thanksgiving and Christmas menus, and let the grocery list total itself. The cook-day timeline works backward from serving time.
5. Print a child's page, a gift list, a menu or a grocery list for the fridge or the store.

Good to know
- Free Google Sheets works. No Excel needed.
- Reusable: change the year on Setup next year. The printable pages are undated.
- The files do not connect to your bank. You type your own numbers, so your information stays with you.
- Leftover use-by dates in the Meal Planner are a planning guide only, not food-safety advice.
