Christmas is approaching and life can get really hectic.  It’s really important to ensure that any lingering chores are taken care of so that the Christmas part can be really enjoyed and you’re not worrying about those things you never quite got round to.  This week my list includes things like clean the tiles in front yard, take some dresses to an alteration service  for the hems to be taken up, give some clothes away to Hospice and clean up some untidy piles in my home.

Once those things are done I can focus on creating my Christmas activities and what needs to be done not just for Christmas day but for the weeks leading up to it and most importantly really enjoy them.  I don’t want to be juggling and being annoyed by household things I haven’t done while trying to enjoy and get ready for the Christmas season.  So make a list of those things that need sorting now, choose when you will action them, and then these won’t get in the way of you really relaxing at Christmas.
