If simple--but pretty--is what you're looking for in a Christmas planner, check out this offering from FiskarCrafts.com.

Using a simple composition notebook, these clever crafters have added a pretty, three-dimensional cover. Stamped felt holly leaves form a pretty frame for a die-cut title.

How simple--and frugal--is this? UK blogger Just Jake does a creative makeover on an inexpensive ring-bound notebook to produce this bright and creative Christmas planner.

Finding her makeover material at the "pound store" (that's "dollar store" to us Yanks!), she's documented the before, during and after of turning a spare notebook into a work of Christmas art.

Innovation we love: a recycled clothes pin, or "peg" in UK parlance, stands in for a receipt envelope. Clever Jake!
