Christmas Lists and Planners

Ten sheets that between them cover most of what gets written down in December: what people want, what you are buying them and for how much, what the food shop has to include, who gets a card, who is bringing what, and what happens on which day. Pick one, set the options above the sheet, then print it or save the PDF.

What each sheet does

  • Christmas list template: sixteen ruled rows with a narrow second column for the size, the colour or where to find it.
  • Wish list for children: a To Santa sheet with three top choices, a box to draw each one and ruled space underneath.
  • Printable Christmas list: one numbered column of twenty lines and nothing else.
  • Bucket list: thirty festive things to do with a tick box each, or the same boxes left blank to fill in.
  • Gift list: a row per person with the idea, a budget figure, bought and wrapped boxes, and a total at the foot.
  • Shopping list: eight headed food and drink sections with a quantity column beside each line.
  • Planner: the four weeks of December with a dated row for every day, then a timed block for the day itself.
  • Card list: name, address, sent and received, with a space for the last posting date.
  • Potluck sheet: who is bringing what and how many it serves, under a date, time and address block.
  • Countdown: twenty four or twenty five numbered boxes, each with room for a date and two lines of writing.

Type on the sheet or write on it afterwards

Every sheet on these pages has real boxes you can type into before you print, and whatever you type comes out in the PDF rather than disappearing when the file is made. That matters most on the gift list and the card list, where a typed column stays legible for a month of being pulled in and out of a bag.

Leave the boxes empty and you get a clean blank form to fill in by hand. Most people do a bit of both: type the names, then write the rest at the kitchen table.

Printing and keeping them

Print at 100 percent scaling rather than Fit to Page, which shaves a few millimetres off and pushes the bottom row closer to the edge than it needs to be. Plain 80gsm paper is fine for anything you will throw away in January.

The card list and the gift list are the two worth putting on 120gsm, because they get folded, carried about and kept. People hang on to a card list for years, and a heavier sheet survives being pushed into the box with the cards.

Questions

Are the Christmas list printables free?
Yes. Every sheet in this section prints and downloads free, with no account to create and no watermark across the page. Print as many copies as you need at home, at work or in a classroom.
Can I type into the sheets before printing?
Yes. The rows and header fields are proper text boxes, and anything typed into them appears in the downloaded PDF as well as on screen. Leave them empty if you would rather fill the sheet in by hand.
Which sheet should I use to stop overspending?
The gift list. It gives each person a row with a budget figure beside the idea, and a total line at the foot, so the number is in front of you before the first order goes in rather than afterwards.
Do these print on US Letter?
Yes. Every sheet has an A4 and a US Letter setting above the page, and the layout is redrawn for the size you pick rather than being cropped or shrunk to fit.
