        With the holiday season right around the corner, it’s more crucial than ever to prepare for any hiccups that can dampen your spirits and make you feel a bit Grinchy. Getting your decorations in order may feel like a large-scale production, but the show must go on. Here are some fool-proof ways to keep calm and carry on with your holiday season without having to break a sweat. 

         

        Haul Out the Holly

        The time for holiday cheer has arrived once again! Unpack the ornaments, the tinsel, gift wrapping, and a few of your favorite festive knick-knacks to decorate the home to the nines. You can alleviate the stress by planning your unpacking for a date you know you’ll be free of any obligations. 

         

        Next winter may seem a world away, but the steps you take now to safely store your holiday decor will save you tons of trouble in the long run. Smart storage practices are the best way to keep your decorations and wrapping paper protected all year round. Simple measures like a deluxe gift wrap storage bag will keep all your wrapping paper crisp and wrap-ready for your gifts galore. 

         

        Check it Twice 

        An all-too-common mishap that can get blown out of proportion is a burnt-out lightbulb in your string lights. Always take the time to double-check your lights for faulty bulbs before you put them up. Double-checking your twinkling lights before stringing them up can save you from a meltdown. Properly storing your holiday lights is the key to ensuring next year’s decorating goes off without a hitch.

         

        Keeping Up with Joneses

        We all know those people who have been in the holiday spirit since thanksgiving, or worse, those who leave their outdoor decorations up year-round. If you still need to deck your halls, indoors or out, here are some helpful hints for a successful setup. 

         

        Always check the weather and have a plan of action. Waiting till the coldest day of the year to put up the decorations certainly isn’t going to do you any favors. At that point your only choice is to bundle up and keep warm with a hot chocolate while you work.  

         

        While setting up your outdoor decorations, consider taking protective measures against snow and precipitation. Waterproof furniture covers and outdoor furniture covers are the best defense against Mother Nature’s wrath and will keep your festive decorations in tip top shape for next year’s celebrations.

         

        Break and Bake

        In the midst of the holiday decorating hoopla, be sure to take breaks and admire your work. An impromptu break allows you to reassess and rejuvenate while you take time to savor the season with your family and enjoy your favorite holiday traditions. And what better way to brighten your day of decorating than with a batch of homemade treats? Decorating traditional cookies and building gingerbread houses with the kids and kids at heart is one of those timeless holiday memories we all cherish. Just don’t forget to set the timer. 

         

        Wrap up your day of decor with a relaxing evening under your outdoor patio lights. As you prepare to serve the night’s feast, take off your dining table cover and you’ll find a dry and cozy surface underneath available for use. This is also where outdoor furniture covers can help you enjoy your outdoor living room. 

         

        A Multi-Person Task

        Letting the kids get involved is a huge help. After all, they might love this season more than you do. Your little helpers can add some fun to decoration day by helping decorate the house – inside and out. Keep your kids focused on the task at hand by assigning them simple but entertaining projects such as sorting decorations by color or creating paper snowflakes to hang in the windows. A small task like having them secure the outdoor areas with waterproof furniture covers while you tackle the indoor decorations is extremely helpful.

         

        Outsource

        Simple things like shipping your gifts directly to your friends and family saves you the stress of having to ship it all out yourself. Many online retailers offer gift wrapping as an added bonus when you shop with them. This also helps to keep the clutter at a minimum and saves you from having to wrap gifts last-minute. 

         

        Stay Jolly This Holi

        Lastly, just remember to relax and enjoy the holidays. It’s understandable to want everything to go smoothly, but high expectations can put you under unnecessary pressure and detract from the reason for the season. Don’t lose sight of the fact that any speed bumps along the road will be forgotten and beloved memories are forever, so cherish each and every holiday moment.
