Christmas Planner
Planning your Christmas holiday season has never been easier. Whether you're throwing a Christmas party for friends and family, trying to juggle a busy schedule, keeping track of gifts for loved ones, or planning your corporate gift giving ideas and budget, this easy-to-use software lets you juggle your entire Christmas season for both your personal life and your work life.
The Christmas Planner helps you organize your gift budget and make sure you stay on track without going over. Check off gifts as you've bought or made them and monitor the budget as the days go by. With this planner, you may even find that you're saving money in places you hadn't expected by avoiding unnecessary expenditures, like doubling up on scarves because you forgot you already bought a gift for Great-Aunt Mildred. It also makes a great record for the following year. Read back through to make sure you're not giving the same gifts to the same people (This system will also let you spot re-gifters in a heartbeat).
Your Christmas Planner gives you the one thing we all want more of: time. Plan your Christmas shopping around the rest of your holiday schedule, leaving plenty of time to relax and actually enjoy holiday traditions like making Christmas candy or decorating your home. With a little organization, you will make the most of this holiday season for yourself and your family.

Receiving Letters From Santa
Receiving letters from Santa is one of my family’s most enduring Christmas traditions. My daughter’s first letter from Santa was delivered to her bassinet, just days after her birth. Written on pale pink parchment, Santa welcomed her to the world and promised a future full of holiday magic. As she dreamed her first dream of sugar plum fairies, I slipped her premiere letter from Santa into a scrapbook made just for the occasion.
A year later, Virginia’s second letter from Santa arrived just in time for her birthday. After helping her blow out the candle on her birthday cake, her father did his best Saint Nicholas impression, ending the letter from Santa in a hearty Ho!Ho!Ho! Each year, her letters from Santa marked milestones in her life: he congratulated her on learning to walk, starting pre-school, and reading her first book. Another letter from Santa consoled Virginia when her best friend moved away. And every December, I diligently added her letters from Santa to her special scrapbook.
The Origins of Santa Claus and Saint Nicholas
In fifth grade, after a particularly skeptical young “tween” announced she wasn't interested in writing Santa, she received her longest letter from Santa yet. In it, he told her all about the origin of Santa Claus and how the tradition of celebrating St. Nicholas, and the spirit of giving around the world, actually gave him his magical powers.
St. Nicholas was a bishop in 343 A.D. who was revered for the importance he put on giving care to those in need and was rumored to place gold and food on the doorsteps of the poor at Christmastime. In the 1100’s, French Nuns began to give candy and gifts to needy children in the spirit of Saint Nicholas. As time went on, the tradition spread throughout the world and began to include young children everywhere. And almost everywhere, children made writing letters to Santa a big part of their Christmas tradition.
