holiday planning tips
We're all for simplifying tasks--especially during the busiest of seasons. Good planning and organization can help make the holidays hassle-free. Consider these five tips to ease holiday hustle and bustle.
Plan before you head to the stores. Take inventory of current wrapping supplies and already purchased gifts. Create shopping lists to help you stay on track, buy only what is needed, and avoid extra trips to the store.
Prepare a storage place for presents. Keep bags and boxes from cluttering your home by clearing a designated space to stash your gifts before you shop.
Wrap gifts as soon as you come home from shopping. Better yet, benefit a local charity and save time by having them wrapped at the mall. Many organizations offer this service for a small donation.
Prioritize activities. With so many wonderful things to do, making choices becomes an important part of holiday planning. As a family, decide which activities you enjoy the most, what traditions you don't want to give up, and what new things you want to do.
Give the house a good cleaning before you decorate. There will be more items to clean around once you add holiday d�cor. Don't have time to fight grime? Clean only what your guests might see and skip the rest until January.
