Oh Helen! I love planning these occasions!!
Im a real Martha fan and I made a binder for all the occasions!

and the list goes on and on and on
the list is laid out the same for each occasion...then away I go with my imagination and plan what i would like to see...all tho I can't afford all of the things...I slowly collect them over the years and add them to a tote bin....then I keep the ideas to use year after year as a tradition to look forward to! Hope this inspires you all to have fun making your own holiday binder!! =)
