Christmas may be a joyful time of year, but for many of us, it can also be quite stressful.
With the kids off school, visitors popping in sporadically and an undeterminable number of mouths to feed, it’s easy to get overwhelmed in this period. It’s best to get ready for Christmas well in advance so that by the time the big day rolls around there will be little fuss involved.
Here are few Christmas-y tips to help you get ready for the festive season:
- Work out a budget
You need to work out your budget so that you can prepare wisely. Remember to involve everything you will need and work out what you will need to spend and where. You can then get a better idea of how to manage your money, without any unnecessary splurges, closer to the big day.
- Start filling in your calendar
December and the lead up to Christmas can be manic. Make sure you start filling in your calendar with everything from parties, to school and work events as well as family gatherings. Don’t be scared of being pedantic; the more organized you are now, the better it will be then.
- Buy your Christmas gifts in advance
It’s the season of giving gifts to our family, friends, and colleagues. Don’t wait until the last minute to start buying your gifts and ironing out who gets what. Make sure you have a list beforehand and that you take advantage of the various end of the year sales, promos and offers.
- Stock up on snacks
Christmas is the one time of year when you can expect an impromptu drop in from literally anyone. Not only that, but you’re obliged to welcome the guests with the appropriate snacks and nibbles. Stock up now to make sure you can fill any awkward silences with snack offerings.
