Holiday Checklist: 6 days to go

Holiday_CheckList
We are exactly 6 days away from the eve of Christmas! Exciting yet overwhelming on my end as we are not only hosting Christmas this year but mum is a Christmas baby! So between getting the house prepared, I’m also organizing her birthday brunch for Christmas day.

In order to keep things from turning sideways, I always create multiple checklists for the holidays (it’s a cancer thing!). This is just to avoid any last minute issues and giving yourself a couple of days to wrap your head around the tasks that are still outstanding.

Last year we posted our Christmas To Do List – what to do the week of Christmas!

This year we have a twist on our previous list!

6- 4 days before Christmas:
– triple check your gift list to make sure everyone is accounted for on the list
– have all gifts wrapped, tagged and either under the tree or stored away for drop off
– prepare your Christmas Eve / Day dinner menu (confirm with guests if any dishes will be brought and what the dishes are)
– purchase breakfast items that are fast and easy to make for over night guests
– prepare guest bedroom or area for overnight guests with clean linens (check out this post for more ideas on preparing the guest bedroom)
– purchase non-perishable food items required for meal prep

3 days – the night before Christmas:
– shop for fresh ingredients for any dishes that require them
– if you are making a turkey or a large protein, ensure you research cooking time and schedule your Christmas Eve morning accordingly
– set the dinner table (including centre pieces)
– set the kiddie table if applicable
– prepare any desserts or dishes that can be stored safe in the fridge
– prepare the “what if box” with additional boxes of chocolate, some extra wine or treats in case you receive any last minute and unexpected gifts
– pick your holiday outfits, iron, lay it out so it’s not a last minute hassle
– send out a sweet message to family and friends that you are anticipating their arrivals! Also if they are required to bring anything (make sure they are aware).

But most of all, have fun, sit back and enjoy the holidays! 🙂

Holiday Coffee Table Decor

We have an odd coffee table in our main living room. It’s black (classic-good) but it separates into two (unique- good and bad). It’s great for entertaining as we leave the higher level decorated with coffee table essentials (decor, plates and napkins) and leave apps and snacks sitting on the bottom half. Most of the time though, we tuck the bottom part away and leave the table “as one”.

Today I share with you a few coffee table decor options for the holiday season!

What to prepare for the Guest Bedroom

If you have a guest bedroom, it’s not often used throughout the year unless of course your relatives live out of town or you entertain often and have overnight guests. At our home, we usually have stay the night guests when the holiday season rolls around.

I typically like to arrange the guest bedroom and areas of the washroom so that guests feel as comfortable and at home as possible. Today I share some quick tips on how to get the guest bedroom and bathroom ready!

1. Fresh Linens
They don’t have to be pressed nor new- just fresh and clean.

2. Layered Bedding
Not everyone feels the same in all room temperatures. Ensure that the bed has multiple layers. A bed sheet, a top cover and an additional blanket- you don’t want your guests to feel cold and you also want them to have the option to sleep as bare as possible.

3. Treat Stash
We like to leave a couple of water bottles, some mini snack packs and chocolates in a basket on the side table. You never know when hunger strikes and you want your guest to help themselves on their own accord.

4. Fresh Towels
If you have a guest bathroom, make the towels accessible and “in view”. If you have a main bathroom, leave the fresh towels on top of the bed so they are not “hounding you” for one.
The president cialis viagra online devensec.com of Discovery Networks, Billy Campbell, said the fund would “honor Steve’s passion and exuberance for conservation” by helping Australia Zoo. Measurements can be expanded under the supervision of a spe buy viagra italyt. cialis ought to be gulped down as an issue tablet with water. order generic cialis ought to be taken 25-60 prior minutes’ sexual action. devensec.com may function as fast as 15 minutes after taking the jelly. This, too, can play a part in the future addicts purchase generic viagra that will spring forth from this lineage of substance abuse and addiction. This is an excellent alternative to other drugs that can provide mastercard cialis online the same effect like this drug but they are not sure to be safe.
5. Toiletries and others
Keep a small basket with common toiletries that they may need or perhaps forgot. Tampons, pads, travel sized mouth wash, tooth brushes and tooth paste. My secret? I store all of my toothbrushes that I get from the dentist in a storage bin. I now have over 10 and trust me- they come in handy. I also make a trip to dollarama and stock up on travel sized items so I don’t feel like I am constantly re-purchasing product.

Create a fun cart for overnight guests with snacks and extra toiletries! via abeautifulmess.com
Loved this idea that I found from abeautifulmess.com. This of course is not a requirement but a great idea to have that can be reused as most guests won’t use up the whole cart at once. Not only is everything in one place, but it’s appealing to the eye and easy to access.

6. Personal Note
This is optional but why not. Leave a cute bedside note for your guests with a warm message, perhaps let them know of what time you plan on serving breakfast.

7. Clutter Free
Just ensure the guest bedroom free from clutter. You want your guests to feel comfortable and relaxed.

8. Scent
Light some candles beforehand or lightly spray the room in a mild scent. The guestroom is not used often so it can become stuffy and stale.

So ladies and gents, how do you prepare for over night guests?
