You know from previous holiday seasons there is always a long list of things to do in order to prepare properly for the holidays. Instead of waiting until the holiday season is you try to address some of the largest previous work when the weather is not as pressing, and relieve some stress in the process.
Have you completed all the tasks of cleaning its downfall? If your garage is a mess and has no idea where he buried the Christmas decorations, and there are still leaves falling everywhere, get busy and get your garage cleaned and organized and get the yard work completed. If you have not already done so, prepare your plants outdoors for the winter, his flight hoses and sprinkler systems, and completely clean your garage. It will make the hunting of holiday decorations a non-issue, because you can go right to them. It is also a good idea to take stock of their situation and make a note to replace anything that is broken. Check your lights at the moment, too. While you are at it, get out your lights outdoors, and hang them until after the audit. When the holiday season rolls around, all you 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 though some might not consider addressing Christmas cards a heavy chore, it can become quite time consuming depending on the length of your list. If you can verify you've got correct addresses early on, it'll make this chore go more smoothly when the time comes. While you are updating mailing addresses, it's a good time to make sure you've got correct phone numbers and e-mailing addresses as well, as both are quick ways to invite people to an impromptu holiday open house or party. You might consider addressing and stamping your envelopes in small groups while watching TV each night. That way they'll be ready to pop in the mail when the holiday season arrives.
Another chore that can be tackled early on is your holiday baking and cooking. Some baked goods freeze very well when prepared ahead of time, as do quick meals such as chili and spaghetti sauce. Then when the busy holiday season arrives, you'll have some of your baking out of the way, and when you need a quick meal, you'll have something that can easily be popped into the microwave or crock pot and can serve a hot meal to your family.
