Reader, Quick question...can you name this movie?

“The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!” 👀

(If you immediately heard Will Ferrell’s voice in your head, we’re definitely kindred spirits! 🎅)

While singing loud for all to hear is definitely one approach (thanks, Buddy the Elf! 🎵), we’ve got a few more magical ideas up our holiday sleeves…

This week, we’re exploring all the ways to multiply your holiday joy:

• Turn your whole neighborhood into secret elves (ninja-style gift-dropping included!)
• Master your Elf on the Shelf game (no more midnight panic)
• Actually get those Christmas cards sent (yes, really!)
• Plus: A peek at how we’ll keep the creativity flowing in 2025!

Grab your favorite holiday beverage, channel your inner elf, and let’s dive into this joy-filled edition…

📬 FEATURED PRODUCT: NEVER MISS SENDING A CHRISTMAS CARD AGAIN!

Can I share an embarrassing mom moment?

Last year, I bought all our Christmas cards... and they never made it to the mail. They're probably still sitting in a drawer somewhere! 😅

But this year? I just mailed 80 holiday cards (the one above) without breaking a sweat.

The game-changer?

Our Christmas Card Tracker spreadsheet.

This Google Sheets template turned me into a holiday card-sending ninja.

It keeps everything organized in one place - from your address book to tracking both sent and received cards.

My favorite features:

• Built-in Christmas countdown
• Progress tracker (so satisfying to watch that number climb!)
• Complete address book system
• Tracking for cards received (perfect for next year's list!)

If you want to join me in actually getting your cards out this year, grab our Christmas Card Tracker template.

Your future self (and your long-distance relatives) will thank you!
