Today, I extend an invitation to join the journey of Journaling throughout the festive season with your Daily December journal. You, too, can find joy in recording your days throughout this Christmas period.

What is A December Daily Journal?

This journal involves the intentional habit of capturing your thoughts each day in December. With a focus on daily reflection, the aim is to record your contemplations and experiences either solo or with prompts and ideas, ensuring you never run out of inspiration. It’s an exceptional way to maximize the joy and mindfulness of this celebratory month. This practice can also serve as a mental health check, self-therapy, or meditation.

Here are some glimpses of previous December Daily Journals:

The beauty of this type of journal lies in using a simple vintage book, repurposed as your diary.

Write in it using elements suggested in the daily journaling challenge, then share your pages with the hashtag #RadiantDecemberDaily throughout December. Ideally, begin around the 3rd or 5th and continue through the end of the month.

Crafting Your Own December Daily

To create your custom December Daily Journal as shown, gather the following items:

  • Plain book with a flat surface
  • Gift wrap or cardstock scrapbook paper
  • Glue gun with glue sticks
  • Ribbons and trimmings
  • Glitter, if you enjoy sparkle! 😉
  • Paint
  • Key ring or gem pendant

Select materials that reflect your taste and choose a color palette you adore to make creating your custom December Daily Journal even more enjoyable.
My first December Daily Journal was crafted from an antique book I found at a charming local shop, which had limited writing space among the historic prose and poetry. Watch the video transformation of this December Daily Journal—it goes from plain to glam! The highlight was decorating in the company of fellow journaling enthusiasts.
