Quick Tips for The Holiday Season

​The calendar has turned, and November is here. This means full speed ahead into the holiday season! It might seem like its too early to start think about the holidays. A few tips to consider for the season.
Do you ever feel like you’re in the midst of holiday frenzy and you don’t know when you will get all the things done? The cooking, holiday meal planning, holiday shopping, gift wrapping, parties, and all the rest. Now is the time to make a plan so that you aren’t flying by the seat of your pants. Grab a warm drink and your calendar.

Prepare your calendar. At this point, there probably isn’t much added to November and
December, so this is the best time for you to “save the dates”. Pick days that you want to go
gift shopping, or cookie baking. Don’t try to squeeze it in. Create the time to make the
memory. Create the time to enjoy your family. If you choose dates now, you will not feel
rushed.

This is a great time to ask your family what holiday traditions are important. What things are must-dos, and what things can go. There isn’t enough time to do everything. Ask your family members to choose the one thing that is most important to them. Make sure you create the time for those things to happen.

Prepare your winter wear! Before it gets too cold, make sure the winter coats, hats, gloves, and boots fit. If you have growing children, they will probably need a bigger size. Give away what doesn’t fit. This will save space in your closet and prepare someone else for the cold season.
​
Declutter. This is a great time! We all know that during the holiday season we can accumulate all kind of things. Make room so your space doesn’t become overwhelmed. If you’re not sure whether to keep or toss, put it in a bag and check the bag in January to see if you still need it.
