Your best Christmas ever STARTS NOW!
Every year, the Christmas season sneaks up on you, and you find yourself juggling a million balls...and then dropping most of them?!

- Rushing between activities
- Planning ALL THE THINGS
The joy and meaning of Christmas seem to get lost in the to-dos, leaving you exhausted by New Years.
You long for a Christmas that feels special— not because of the perfect decorations or fancy gifts, but because you’re able to spend time with your family and soak up the season’s true meaning.
You dream of creating magical moments with your loved ones, but without the constant stress, pressure, and last-minute scrambling.
But, what if THIS Christmas (and every Christmas to come!) could be different? 🤔
...Had a clear, simple plan in place, so you could relax and actually enjoy the holidays?
...Spent your time on the things that truly matter to you and your family?
...Could breeze through December with confidence, knowing everything important was handled?
...Had the freedom to make MEMORIES instead of just checking off tasks the entire season?
Let's make THIS the year that your Christmas dreams come to life. 😁

Here's what you'll get with the Holiday Headstart Playbook:
- Digital AND printable pages that walk you through how to set a foundation of the type of Christmas season that works for YOU and YOUR family!

Ready to reclaim the JOY of the season?!
This isn't just another Christmas planner.
The Holiday Headstart Playbook is a complete system designed to help you create the Christmas you truly want, NOT the one you feel obligated to achieve.
What makes the Holiday Headstart Playbook so different?
(And psst - SO MUCH BETTER than what you've tried before!)
Other Christmas planners only focus on the WHAT.
Other Christmas planners are full of tons of pages for making ALL THE LISTS of WHAT to do, WHAT to buy, WHAT to plan...but those never-ending lists can often drive us AWAY from our love of Christmas, rather than help us ENJOY all of the big (and little!) things about the season.
With typical Christmas planners, you get overwhelmed from the START. You're reminded of EVERYTHING THERE IS TO DO...without any kind of reflection on WHY those millions of to-dos are even necessary or worth your time! (Hint: A LOT of them aren't!)
With the Holiday Headstart Playbook, you'll START with the WHY, then base ALL of your Christmas plans and to-dos on the STRONG foundation of what is important to YOU.
Then, we'll help you create a plan to make that Christmas magic happen. 🥳
So, yeah, with this Playbook, you'll be making a list (and maybe checkin' it twice 😉), but we're going to help ensure that ALL of your to-do lists match up to what you ACTUALLY want Christmas to look like - for yourself AND your loved ones.
Ready to have FUN planning for Christmas
and ACTUALLY enjoy the season?
Here's how the Holiday Headstart Playbook works:
This planning system helps you to FIRST clearly identify what matters to you about your holiday celebrations, and then helps you plan EVERYTHING - step-by-step - to help bring your Christmas hopes & dreams to life!
With our simple, guided questions, we'll help you FIRST identify what matters to you about your holiday celebrations.
This helps lay the RIGHT foundation - not an obligatory one - and start the process of making this holiday season your best one yet!
(And ONLY the important lists to YOU!)
From gifts and spending, to traditions and decorations, and then everything in between, we have space for you to plan out and keep track of as much of those aspects as you want!
Instead of feeling frazzled and exhausted by the time Christmas arrives, you'll feel prepared and excited to actually ENJOY it!
The very intentionally-created prep & planning process of the Playbook helps you actually live in the moment of the season, rather than look back and wonder where it all went!
Not sure where to start?
Don't worry, we've got you! 🙌
We've created short video tutorials that walk you through the entire Playbook - how it works and how to use it!
What's inside the Playbook:
PURPOSE PAGES
Self-guided questions and prompts to help you establish your hopes & expectations - and your overall purpose - for the way you spend the holidays. These pages will help set the foundation for ALL the other planning you do!
GIFTS & SPENDING
It's time to budget! We've thought of EVERYTHING - use these worksheets to outline a practical budget from gifts to shopping to stocking stuffers. These pages will help you cover all the bases (and let go of the ones that you can!), as well as set a reasonable amount for what you want to spend.
TRADITIONS & ACTIVITIES
Uncover what activities, traditions, and decor are most important to your enjoyment of the holidays. We'll help you make your priority lists for things you want to do with your family and setting up your home to feel special for the season.
FOOD & MEAL PLANNING
Use these sheets to draft menus, start grocery lists, and minimize your weekly spending by deploying the Holiday Headstart system for getting ahead on grocery shopping!
TREE & DECOR
These planning pages help you not just keep track of your holiday decor, but actually help you think through what you want to use...and what you don't! (Psst - one of our favorite features of this section is the Color Story page - It helps you walk through what you want your home to say at Christmas instead of just buying every cute thing Target has for sale. 😉)
CALENDARS, EVENTS, & TRAVEL
Once you've set your priorities on what you want to do, we'll work step-by-step to get things scheduled and coordinate with the other people involved. Keep track of Christmas gatherings, family functions, and all of your travels in one location!
CLOTHING, CARDS, & PHOTOS
These sheets will help you plan out everything from Christmas PJs (if those are important to you!), Christmas attire for your different events, and cards/envelopes/addresses if you're sending out Christmas cards this year!
MASTER TO-DO LISTS
Christmas planning HQ! Every checklist you can probably think of so you can get everything out of your head and make space up there for ALL the fun you're going to have & memory-making you're going to do this Christmas!
THE BIG DAY!
In the stress of the moment, our intentionally crafted plans are often thrown out the window. Let's prevent that from happening by using these pages to plan ahead for how to handle the last minute stress that comes in the days right before Christmas.

It's our MISSION to help you make your Christmas full of MEMORIES.
We're Heidi & Emily, and we can't wait to help you avoid the unnecessary "Holiday Hustle."
We’re two sisters and former elementary school teachers who’ve taken the simple strategies and practical tips we mastered in the classroom and put them to work for our favorite time of year - the holidays!
True story: When I (Heidi) was 13 or 14, I remember hearing our mom say, "I’ve done it again. Another Christmas is over and I didn’t get to enjoy any of it."
That was the first step in realizing that so many women spend SO MUCH TIME and ENERGY trying to make Christmas magical, that they miss out on SO MUCH of the magic themselves.
And, after we grew up and took on those same holiday obligations ourselves, we realized just how easy it is to DROWN in the sea of Christmas to-dos 😫 rather than SOAK UP the joy, fun, and traditions of this special season 🥰 that only comes once a year.
Which is exactly why we created the Holiday Headstart Playbook.
Friend, don't miss out on the simplicity, the memory-making, or the special traditions of the Christmas season!
Let us help you make this the BEST Christmas ever!
The holidays SHOULDN'T be so stressful.
It truly CAN be the most wonderful time of the year.
Here's just some of what you'll love about the
