Organising an Awesome Family Christmas Part 16

Stick to minimum household chores. Enjoy the season with friends and family–in your clean and organised home!

Put together any toys that require assembly. Start early to keep the sparkle in the season.
Check and organize stocking stuffers. Place each family member’s gifts in a separate grocery bag so Santa can get a good night’s rest on the 24th. Hang sacks on coat hangers in the back of a wardrobe to keep from prying eyes.
Prepare for Christmas dinner. Set the table, arranging centerpiece, place-settings and serving dishes ahead of time. Sticky notes make it easy to know what goes where.
Plan Christmas morning breakfast. The holiday will flow more smoothly with a menu plan, even for breakfast! Consider a simple Christmas brunch of poached eggs and smoked salmon or other alternative to an elaborate meal. Round it out with fresh juice, champagne and pre-made sweet rolls for a festive–but easy–meal.
