How to Start Planning for the Holidays Now
With Halloween now behind us, we are heading straight into the “most wonderful time of the year”- the holiday season! I don’t know about you, but sometimes I feel stressed and overwhelmed by all there is to do this time of year- decorating, entertaining, shopping, gift-giving, cooking, cleaning- the list goes on and on… Today I want to share with you six ways to start planning for the holidays now AND a fabulous new resource to help you with all there is to do!
1- Grab your calendar
Grab your calendar and take a few minutes to plan for the upcoming holiday season- a quick planning session will save you hours of wasted time and last-minute rushing around. In addition to adding important holiday events and parties to your calendar- be sure to block off days/times for decorating, shopping, cooking, cleaning, wrapping gifts even scheduling some times of rest! This week is the perfect time to do this before things get crazy!
2-Find inspiration
I always love decorating for the holidays and now is the time to start gathering inspiration for your decor. Maybe you want to add a few new items or switch up your color scheme this year. Check out Pinterest or your favorite decor magazines and catalogs for some fresh holiday inspiration! Click HERE to view my 2022 Holiday Inspiration board.
3-Take inventory
Carve out a little time to take a look at your current holiday decor and supplies like wrapping paper and tags and make a note of the items you will need to shop for this year.
4-Declutter
While you are checking your holiday supplies- go ahead and dispose of any old items you are no longer using- these are just taking up valuable space!
5-Start a gift list
Now is the perfect time to start a list of gift ideas for family and friends (I actually keep a running list all year long) which comes in super handy for birthdays and holidays!
