The Christmas Menu
Plan the Christmas menu well in advance and start getting the ingredients for it step by step. When buying turkey, pay attention to its actual size and the size of your own oven to make sure you will be able to cook it properly. There are several lovely Christmas cookies which you can make even weeks before the celebration and will be fine once stored in a cookie or cake-box.
The Christmas Tree
Chose the placing of the tree and measure the place available for it before buying the Christmas Tree. Good to note: never place the Christmas tree right next to your heaters as they will last a much shorter time. Choose and probe your Christmas tree lights prior to Christmas eve so that you can have time to change them in case they’ve gone bad. Make sure your tree will stand firm especially when small kids and animals are around.
Packing of gifts
Every store is stacked with decoration papers and all sorts of ribbons you can get in advance. If you are one of the few who can purchase everyone a few weeks prior to the feast, don’t waste time and pack them when you can. This way you will win considerable time for the pre-Christmas run.
We hope our tips will help you to create a beautiful, memorable Christmas for you and your family.
