Want an easy way to assemble a Christmas planner? Take a tip from blogger Cassadiva!

Her comb-bound Christmas planner lies flat, yet is flexible enough to fold back for easy use.

Cassadiva's assembled her personalized organizer from holiday planning templates from OrganizedChristmas.com. Using a binding service from her local office supply store to build her planner, she's created an efficient and easy-to-make planner option.

Decorated with pretty cover pages, it's a functional and fabulous power tool for holiday planning. Good job!

Cassadiva's Comb-Bound Christmas Planner

Amberlee, blogging at the Giver's Log site, is back for 2010 with a fresh new version of her handmade holiday planner.

This free printable is the one for you, if you're looking for portable simplicity in a Christmas planner. Pocket-sized and pretty, it's a minimalist's version of a working holiday organizer.

Best of all, Amberlee offers her design in both pre-filled (for those looking for direction) and fill-your-own versions. Nice!

Handmade Holiday Planner

Start with a simple photo album from the dollar store. Add patterned paper, index cards and a bit of creativity, and what do you get? This delightful Christmas Planner from blogger Janelle at the Arizona Families blog.

What we love about this? Simplicity! Using an inexpensive photo album as the base, users add standard-sized index cards to photo pockets to create a durable holiday organizer.

Don't miss Janelle's advice about adding tabs. Using a paper punch makes it easy to make as many tabs as you need. Since you create your own planner, your tabs will be as unique and individual as you are!

Simple, inexpensive and creative: a winner!
