The goal with this spread is to add names to the blank envelopes when you send the card, but you could also do a simple list setup for names and addresses.
Because you don't want to get all the way to Grandma's house and then realize you forgot the kids' stockings and the $12 jar of vanilla beans you bought specifically for a Christmas Eve dinner recipe.
Get your workouts in, try something new, avoid hangovers, etc.
Draw it in black pen and then color in each doodle to check off that day. PS It doesn't have to be this elaborate — you could just do plain boxes in a tree shape, like this.
