You know from previous holiday seasons there is still a long list of things to do in order to properly prepare for the holidays. Instead of waiting until the holidays are over you, try to address some of the biggest jobs earlier when time is not as pressing, and relieve some stress in the process.
Have you completed all of your fall housecleaning chores yet? If your garage is a mess and you have no idea where you buried the Christmas decorations and there's still fallen leaves everywhere, get busy and get your garage cleaned out and organized and get the yard work completed. If you haven't already done so, prepare your outdoor plants for winter, drain your hoses and sprinkler systems, and clean your garage completely. It will make the hunt for the holiday decorations a non-issue because you'll be able to go right to them. It's also a good idea to take an inventory of their condition, and make a note to replace anything that's broken. Check your lights at this time, too. While you're at it, get out your outdoor lights, and hang them up after checking them. When the holiday season rolls around, all you'll have to do is flick a switch.
Get your interior deep cleaning done at that time too. If you know that you are going to have nights stay with you, make sure your room is ready for business. If you have to store things in clear it out. Make sure it is available drawers and closet space for your guests to put things away if they are with you for an extended period of time. It is also the ideal time to tidy up summer clothing and bedding items and leave your heavier clothing and bedding.
And while some might consider not cope with the Christmas cards a heavy task, which can be quite time consuming depending on the length of your list. If you can verify that you have received the correct addresses from the beginning, that this will make the task go more smoothly when the time comes. While you are updating mailing addresses, which is a good time to make sure it has arrived properly phone numbers and e-mail addresses and, as both are quick ways to invite people to an impromptu feast open or match. You might consider addressing and stamping envelopes in small groups while watching television every night. Thus, we are ready to pop in the mail when the holiday season arrives.
Another task that can be addressed from the start is your holiday baking and cooking. Some baked goods freeze well when prepared in advance, like fast food, like chili and spaghetti sauce. Then, when the busy holiday season arrives, it will have some of its baking out of the way, and when you need a quick meal, you need something that can easily be found in the microwave and crock pot or can serve hot food to your family.
Addressing these major chores now so you can enjoy your holiday later!
