Christmas themed
31 Christmas journal prompts, because I could not let an opportunity pass to combine my journal love with my Christmas love.
If you’ve been following me for any length of time you’ll know that I adore Christmas and that my Journal prompts have become a monthly feature.
The seasonal Perfect Autumn Journal Prompts were very popular and I hope that the Christmas ones will be as well.
Why a Christmas prompt?
Well why not?
This time of year is so busy, in fact probably the busiest time of the year.
We put so much pressure on ourselves to make the whole season perfect, that often we forget to make time for ourselves.
As I’ve said before, keeping a journal is a great way to take 5 minutes for ourselves to focus on ourselves and our thoughts.
This time of year is even more important. It can give us a break but I hope with the prompts I’ve selected, it’ll provide some focus.

That list has certainly put me in the Christmas spirit. I have done most of my shopping, will spend next weekend wrapping and posting gifts off. Great post 🎄🎁🎄
Thank you 💕 enjoy your wrapping x
Great ideas here! I’m in the middle of pressie wrapping and loving every minute!
Oh me too! I’ve got so much to wrap by I do love it xc
I’ve tried to keep a journal so many times but haven’t managed to keep up with it. I think I might use these and hopefully it’ll mean I can stick with it and actually use it every day!!
Thank you Hannah. I struggle to keep up but I’ve found prompts like this really keep me focused x
Hopefully they do the same for me!
Reading your prompts has made me realise there is so much still to get ready before the big day. I like how you’ve covered everything that needs to be achieved.
Yeah it had the same effect on me!
Oh, it’s that time of the year again! 🎄 I love Christmas. Great post!
Thank you! Me too x x
Having just spent 4 days showing friends and family around the local Christmas market, not having one moment for myself or my blog, I gotta agree with you 100%: this is the busiest time of year and we need to remember to take some time for ourselves as well. Great prompts, I might just dive into these tomorrow when I’m wiling away the time at the airport. x
It’s so stressful despite it being so lovely.
I hope you can make some time for you x x
Wow! This makes so much sense! Everything can appear such a rush as you head towards the big day so having things a bit more mapped out will really help!
That’s what I thought, making you stop and think about what you have to do makes it a bit of you time and helps make sense of the jobs that need to be done x. X
Oo these prompts have got me thinking! I have a lot to do and i like the idea of getting organised in a journal 🙂
Thank you Helen, I hope they are helpful x
Love your journal prompts Claire! So inspiring ❤️
Thank you Jenni x
You are welcome! I can imagine people could use these prompt to plan their blog posts and even social media 🙂
I don’t journal but simply thinking about the point “What moment bought you most joy today?” made me smile 🙂 I guess I must have been journalling it in my head
Awww I’m so pleased you enjoyed them x
I also love Christmas Season. I usually host Christmas Eve dinner for our family, and it’s a lot of work. But it’s so worth it. I definitely need to take some time to myself during the preparation though. And journaling is a great way to do that! Thank you for sharing the prompts!
I adore Christmas too! It’s my favorite Holiday of the year. It’s like the smiles of people around us seem to be more genuine than any other time of the year. I like this list of writing prompts. They certainly give you something to think about! Wanted to wish you and yours Happy Holidays
The Happiness is so infectious isn’t it x x Happy Holidays to you x x
Oh my gosh there’s so much to do!! Thanks for this…given me a few things to think about.
You’re so welcome x x
I love this list Claire! Journaling is such a good way to decompress and it can be so helpful to have prompts to give you the start you need when you just need to calm yourself down. This list can definitely get you even more in the spirit. Well done!
Oh, I love this. Every year I make a December Daily mini scrapbook with all the fun things we do in the month of December. This will be perfect to add to it! I added it to my December Daily board on Pinterest. Thank you!

I love the idea of journaling using a Christmas prompt. I would do, “the reason for the season.”
Wow, there are some things on there I would never have thought of yet, like the baking. But it’s good to have a reminder so I can start planning now. I tend to leave everything to the last minute haha!
Thank you for the great prompts. With all the busyness of Christmas it’s hard to focus on the New Year: right now for me I want to think about who to send Christmas cards to. Happy Holidays!
And to you, have a fabulous month x
What a good idea! Still buying pressies here – but feel in control
It’s great to feel in control x
this can actually be very helpful – sometimes xmas season becomes very stressful but in this way, everything is under control!

Lovely ideas! Just added some to mine! Thank you for sharing it!
Thank you x
Great prompts. I sporadically journal but might have to make it a habit in December just to stay organized!
I’m excited to keep myself in check x
These are great Christmas journal prompts, I’ve fallen out of the journaling habit and need to get back into it. This is my favorite time of year but it always ends up being so stressful so these could be helpful for slowing down a bit.
I really hope they help x
Great ideas!!! I love good writing prompts!!
Thank you x
Christmas is one of the best times of year for writing. There are so many things to cover.
I love it!
I don’t keep a journal, but I love answering questions: I’ve finished my Christmas shopping, decorations never go up before the 1st of Advent, and the best Christmas movie ever is the Muppets Christmas Carol. Of course.
I think that Christmas journal prompts are a great idea! They keep you mindful about the holidays what you are doing, why you are doing it and who you are doing things for.
Thank you Julie x
I rarely keep a journal but I do love these Christmas prompts such a good idea.
Thank you x
I love the idea of Christmas prompts. Makes journaling more focused.
Thank you x
I love this idea, those are a great mixture of fun prompts and organisational prompts! I’ve been meaning to start a journal all year so I definitely want to start one in January! Also I love your Christmas tree, I’m getting mine today! x
Thank you Chloe!
My prompts are ready for the whole of next year so maybe they’ll come in handy for you x
This is a great list. There are always so many things to think about in the lead up to Christmas. It definitely helps to be organised.
Thank you Candice x
I’ve never done prompts before, looks so fun! This is totally getting me into the Christmas spirit – can’t believe November is basically over already though! x
I know! I’ve just finished work for the week and realised that when I go back on Monday it’ll be December! Madness!
I really like this idea and the prompts you’ve shared!
Thank you molly x
Great ideas ! I never done this before . thanks
Thank you x
Lovely idea. I use Day One app for journaling and it’s a fab way to remember to take 5 minutes to concentrate on yourself #selfcare and all
I’ve not heard of that, might have to check it out x
With all the hustle and bustle this time of year I think this is a great idea just to get back to reality and not panic
I completely agree x
Hello!
I m a Hindu.. And I wanted to know what you do with the Christmas tree once the celebration.. Festival is over?
My tree is plastic so I take it down and box it up to come back out each year x
Okay!
Thanks for answering..
Actually, I was planning to celebrate the Eve this year. 😄
Really useful prompts! I love keeping a journal to help me stay organised!

Me too, it really helps x
Well, thanks much for this entry. A Christmas prompt. Wow. I am behind on everything except journaling. I’ve spent so much time writing, reading, keeping up with other things that I , yea, didn’t even put a tree up yet. That’s ‘yet’. Thanks for the reminder; Love the pictures. Merry Christmas to all Peace.
Merry Christmas to you x x x

I never would have thought of Christmas journal prompt. What a wonderful idea. Just reading them has put me in the Christmas spirit. I can’ t wait to see what happens when I start to journal with them! Thanks for sharing this amazing idea!
I find keeping a journal keeps me more organised and having journal prompts is great to keep Christmas things to do in check
Great prompt ideas although I now realise I still have SO much to sort lol! I really want to start a journal as I rarely find time to sit down for myself and think this will really prompt me to do so! x
These prompts are great!. I’ve start journaling over the last few months , thanks to lockdown and I’m really enjoying it 🙂
I often think about journalling but I am usually too busy during the festive season to find time to jot down my thoughts.
These are great journal prompts to use in the build up to Christmas. I will using these.
I haven’t used a journal or anything in a while, but some good prompts and if nothing else they’re good things to think about. I’m almost done with my presents now, it’s just the fun part of wrapping them all now x
I haven’t journaled like this for ages, I must get back to it, as I really enjoyed it and it organised my thoughts, Mich x
With the festive season quickly approaching, I am really loving these Christmas prompts. I really should start journalling.
This is such a nice post to write, as it will help many who have the occasional blip of writers block xx
These journal prompts are a great way to help get people in the Christmas spirit. I’d be doing loads of lists for different things like gifts, Christmas baking etc.
Great ideas here! I’m in the middle of Christmas shopping and loving every minute!
I don’t journal myself but I do like the idea. I love all your Christmas themed prompts.
