About Christmas Organised

Alex's story

Hi! I’m Alex, and I love Christmas!

For me, there’s nothing better than gathering around the Christmas tree with my family and watching my excited nieces and nephews as they open their presents.

I also love all the festive traditions, the memory making, the parties and fun with friends – it’s such a special time of year. Oh, and I mustn’t forget the excuse to eat well and be merry!

However, in the past it’s also been a tricky time.

Because I loved every aspect of the Christmas season so much, I attempted to do way too many things and ended up stressed.

I did everything in a rush, panicked and spent more money than planned. Inevitably I didn’t manage to do everything I’d intended to and, as a result, felt like I’d failed.

It was horrible and really affected my ability to enjoy the festive season.

A few years ago I decided enough was enough. I knew there must be a way for me to get Christmas organised!

Since then – one step at a time – I’ve discovered ways to make Christmas fun, enjoyable and affordable.

So when I say I love Christmas, now I really mean it!

When I spoke to friends, family and colleagues about my Christmas journey, it resonated with all of them.

Just like I used to, every year they felt intense pressure to create the perfect Christmas and ended up jaded and exhausted.

Keen to help, I shared some of the strategies I’d used to help take some of the pressure off – and received some amazing feedback.

I realised my experience could help lots of people have more fun at Christmas, and that’s why I’ve created this website.

So, if this sounds like you, read on and prepare to get Christmas Organised!

I also recommend you sign up to receive my newsletters which will provide extra tips to help you keep on track for a calm but fun Christmas.

I hope it helps you – I’d love to hear how you get on!

About Alex

I’m in my 40s and I live in London.

The Christmas Organised website helps me share my love of the festive season. I hope my tips help others enjoy it as much as I do!

I was a personal assistant for many years and more recently I’ve worked in marketing and events management.

Friends and family tell me I’m a born organiser – and it’s true, I’ve been planning social events and parties for them for years.

In my spare time I enjoy learning French and Spanish, discussing my latest read at book club and attending pilates classes.
