ORGANIZE CHRISTMAS!

Organize Christmas with lists, and some other of my thoughts about how to make your life a little more stress free this Christmas.
Lists! lists are a great way to organize Christmas and could help save you time and money! Lists can help with menus, grocery shopping, gift shopping and so many other ways I can't think of all of them right now.
My daughter in-law came up with a great idea to help organize your meal preparation. She put sticky notes on all of the dish's so I could help without constantly asking her. The sticky note's had what was to go into the dish when it needed to go into the oven and how long it was to be in the oven. The sticky notes also helped us remember everything so we did not sit down to eat and go where are the rolls! Ever do that? Ha Ha.
Cleaning up after that wonderful meal we had way to many leftovers! To save room we 
used a lot of baggies instead of dishes that take up to much room in the refrigerator. Everyone got little goody bags of food to take home for their next meal or snack. Oh did I mention food can be warmed up in some bags by putting them in boiling water! They worked 0ut so well I just had to share. Baggies can also be used for Christmas ornaments!
A great time to get organized and declutter is the day you take down your home's Holiday bling. At the start of a New Year, evaluate all of your holiday decorations. Consider donating or selling anything you didn't use this year. Store everything that you use and love in a organized manner so decorating next year will be a snap.
Keep an ornaments original box if it increases the ornaments value or provides exceptional protection. Other wise ditch it and choose a box or bin that holds multiple ornaments. If you don't have room to store your holiday decorations you can always rent a store unit from All Seasons Storage!
One other thought! Have you ever considered sending your Christmans card via e-mail? Here is a link for free Christmas eCard www.myfuncards. Choose from hundreds of Christmas eCards and send as many as you want. I have not tried this yet but I have received several and they are wonderful!
