It's that time of year! It's December 1st! Time to get all of those things together that help you prepare for the holidays. Tell me what are some things that help you get ready for your family to celebrate Christmas! What are some things that are important to your family or family traditions that you make sure to pass down for generations to come? Here is a list of things that I do to help us prepare for the holidays:
- Decorating your home, putting up the Christmas tree.
- Prepare a menu for Christmas dinner or brunch (we are doing brunch this year).
- Make a list of what you need at the grocery store before hand and right before preparing your meal.
- Focusing on the elements in the room that I am decorating for that room, for example, candles are important to me and I love all the smells of Christmas and the ambiance it gives.
- Make a gift list of all the gifts you need to purchase as well as your Christmas cards.
- Within two weeks prior to Christmas, mail your Christmas cards to friends and family, start wrapping gifts, and make sure all Christmas photos are taken.
- Plan things to do with the kids such as decorating a gingerbread house, or any type of Christmas crafts. I usually love to make cookies with the kids for Santa so there is enough time and we aren't rushing during this time.
- Prepare Christmas brunch and set up the table.
- Enjoy Christmas brunch and have fun spending time with family.
Christmas is a great time with family in the past and I really love it!
Let us know what you do to plan for the holidays.
Love Shell
