1. Prepare A Calendar
Christmas season can get pretty hectic pretty quickly. Avoid being overwhelmed by planning ahead and filling your schedule with anything new that pops up. Take notes about anything you might forget during that time, and don’t worry about writing down too many things; the more organized you are now, the better it’ll be later.
2. Decide Who’s Hosting
Will you be celebrating Christmas at home this year? Is it at a friend’s house? Or would you like to enjoy the festivities in a restaurant? Whatever the plan is, think of it ahead of time and discuss it with your family. If you’re hosting, find out beforehand so you can get ready by decluttering and figuring out all the essential details for the most wonderful night of the year.
3. Start Christmas Shopping
We all know Christmas is all about special gifts, and last-minute Christmas shopping takes away from the experience of picking the perfect gift for everyone.
Make a list of gifts for your family and friends and start shopping without the stress of having Christmas Eve a couple of days away. A really special gift suggestion that fits anyone’s taste would be a beautiful wooden world map from our collection.
4. Look up recipes
In case you’re hosting Christmas at your own house this year, looking up recipes ahead of time could be of huge help. Decide on your party menu and plan out your cooking process; anything that can be made before the big night and stored in the freezer is a great option. Also write your grocery list on the basis of your menu. You won’t forget any key ingredients that way!
5. Get your home décor ready!
If you don’t have a Christmas tree yet, now’s the time to get one! Some people also love to update their decoration color palette, or simply get a few new decorative items to add to their collection. If you’re one of those people, get your décor (and wrapping paper!) now, and come up with new ways to decorate your space for a magical Christmas!
Christmas time is all about giving back! And there is no better way to do that than to shop local and support small business owners by getting your essentials from their handcrafted collections.
