It's a Grand Plan for Christmas organizing: an 18-week program to clean and organize the entire home for the holiday season. Welcome to the Holiday Grand Plan!

Written by Katie Leckey with contributions from the Prodigy Homelife Get O group in 1992-1993, the Holiday Grand Plan is the Web's oldest Christmas holiday planner. By breaking down all the tasks needed to clean and organize the house and prepare for the holidays, you'll reach the season calm and centered and ready to celebrate.

Holiday Grand Plan 2008 begins on Sunday, August 31, and continues throughout the holiday season. Based on Katie's companion Spring Cleaning Grand Plan, the Holiday Grand Plan combines holiday prep, home organizing and cleaning components.
