How are your Christmas preparations coming along? According to many of you on Satori’s Facebook Page, shopping is well underway and you’ve even started some baking and a few craft projects. I love hearing about your projects and how the holiday countdown planner is working for you!
If you’re late to the party, be sure to read about this year’s Holiday Countdown and also catch up on week two or week three. Don’t worry, there’s still time to join this series (it’s only November)!
Let’s find out what this week’s tasks are, shall we?
Step One
To get your free Printable Planner for Week Four, simply click on the image below and you will have access to the PDF.
Step Two
Once you’ve printed out the planner, read the post Holiday Countdown Series Recap {Week Four} and you’ll know what your homework is for the week.
You may have noticed I’m in Christmas craft mode around here. This week, I kicked off the One Item Project Challenge and shared my DIY snowflake glass canisters using glass paint. This weekend, I’m working on the next DIY project for this series, as well as my hot cocoa station for our holiday get-togethers.
I also plan on doing some big batch cooking and freezing on Sunday to have meals ready to go for the upcoming weeks. Last night we had eggs for supper and I don’t want to be doing that very often leading up to Christmas.
On a side note, if you’re Canadian, I encourage you to check out Ebates.ca when doing any online shopping. I recently joined and was a little skeptical at first, but I already got a rebate check in the mail for shopping at Banana Republic and Chapters Indigo. Basically I just needed to click through ebates.ca to go to the sites I wanted to shop at and I automatically earned a percentage back- easy peasy! You can also refer friends like I am and earn bonus money (I think we could all use a little gift to ourselves this Christmas season, right?).
So, what have you been up to the past few weeks?
Christine created these lovely etched candle holders.
Donna made a twig pinecone garland out of found materials (while watching Survivor).
Tina participated in Operation Christmas Child and started her holiday decorating scheme.
Want to share your own Holiday Countdown progress?
Share what you’ve been up to each week in a blog post (or as many weeks as you wish). Be sure to link back to the corresponding week’s post. Let me know you’re participating and I’ll share your project on Facebook or one of my other social media channels.
Be sure to share your photos or updates on social media with the hashtag #satoriholidaycountdown
Or, simply leave a comment updating us on what you’ve been up to. Fun, right?
Have a fantastic weekend,

I love the countdown planner! I did a post last week about what to do now to prepare for the holidays. I was determined to be prepared this year and made a plan. It’s working! I’m almost completely done with shopping, pictures are done, and the tree is halfway decorated! Whoo hoo!

It sounds like you’re way ahead of the game. I’m doing some shopping this weekend and will hopefully check a bunch of other tasks off my list. Snow in the forecast again, so I don’t know if our outdoor lights will get up (normally that is done by now)!

Thanks for the Ebates tip, just signed up using your link – hope you got something out of it!
Shauna Oberg says
It really does work and I figured if that many reputable companies were part of it, it must be okay. Hope you get some money back too!
Christine says
Thanks for the planner! It will definitely come in handy!!! Hope you have a great week!
Sabrina @ Pink Little Notebook says
Love your printable planner and those glass snowflakes jars are just so festive. Think I might have to attempt this at home!!
Alex says
Love those glasses! I am a big sucker for any gift or decor that involves a jar. And chickpeas? Hello to one of the foods that I eat the most each week.
And the planner? Deciding on my cards? Oh I cannot wait to get on making mine!
Tara @ Suburble says
Love your planner, still! I will say that I have ordered my cards, but I haven’t figured out whether we are going to host a gathering or not.
I so want to, but somehow I have a feeling that our month will be chock-full of other families’ get-togethers!
Dani @ lifeovereasy says
This is really inspiring me to get more organized so I can enjoy the weeks before Christmas! Looks like you will have some great things on the go.
