As wonderful as December often is, it also comes with a lot of expectation and planning. Wishing everyone in your life happy holidays and seeing people before the new year is something we all want to do. However, it can be tough to manage all the messages and meet-ups amongst a busy schedule.

Our ‘people to connect with before the new year’ planner is a great way to keep track of everyone and who you’ve reached out to.

The planner has sections for people you want to send a card to or message, people to phone or video call, and people you want to meet up with in person over the holidays. You can use our December conversation ideas or our 2-person positive conversation game if you want ideas for things to talk about.

You can get the planner as a printable using the link at the bottom of the article. Even writing everyone down you want to get in touch with in one place can be so helpful.

Start With Sending Messages and Greeting Cards

This section has the most spaces. You can add family, friends, and colleagues, and anyone who you want to wish happy holidays via text message or a card. We’ve also included some simple message prompts to give you ideas for what to write:

  • Happy holidays and new year!
  • Hope the family are well.
  • Let’s catch up in the new year.
  • Hope the year’s been great/achievements from the year.
  • Warm wishes and holiday cheer.
  • Excited for what the new year brings.

Use these simple prompts to craft more personalized messages.

Schedule Video Calls for Family and Friends

The second section is for people you want to either phone or video call. Every person also has a designated calendar, so you can mark when they’re available and even set a date to chat.

Organize In-Person Meetups

The last section is for people you want to meet up with in person before or during the holiday season. Every person has a calendar for you to plot and set dates, and we’ve also included some meet-up ideas, too.

Places you could go:

  • Coffee shop.
  • Brunch or dinner.
  • Winter walk.
  • Playdate.
  • Shopping at the mall.
  • Seasonal market or fair.
  • Local or community event.
  • Ice skating at an indoor or outdoor rink.

Ideas you can do from home:

  • Gift-wrapping evening.
  • Movie or TV show night.
  • Craft or tree-decorating night.
  • Online trivia or get-together.
