Christmas printables
Everything on makekite for Christmas, in one place. The children's activities are made for a summer Christmas in Australia, with a backyard and beach scavenger hunt and a lights walk alongside the letters to Santa and colouring pages. The planners help the adults keep the gifts, the budget, the cards and the Christmas Day cooking under control. Everything is free, needs no sign-up, and is made in your browser and printed from there.

A calmer Christmas
Most of the stress at Christmas comes from leaving things to the last fortnight. Setting a budget in October, buying a little each pay day and writing the gift list down means fewer late-night shopping trips. For big families or workplaces, a Secret Santa replaces many small gifts with one good one. On the day, a simple cooking timeline and a menu where each family brings a dish leave the host time to enjoy it. And for children, a countdown of small, free activities often means more than the presents.
