Tips for the Holiday Season

Holiday Planning:
- Make a list of people you want to give gifts to. Set price limit for each person. Remember, it's
the thought the counts. STICK to your BUDGET!

Holiday Decorating:
- It is not mandatory to have a theme each year. Designate areas around your home that you wish
to be the focal point. If you have a fireplace at home (not common here in the Philippines), now
is the time for a fireplace mantel remodel. I really love the look of pretty, glowing fireplaces
during the Yuletide season. But keep in mind to... Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Holiday Cleaning:
- Declutter
- Re-arrange
- Re-organize

Holiday Cooking:
- Plan your Christmas eve and day menu. Sit down with the whole family and ask for suggestions.
- Buy items and ingredients 2-3 days before the celebration.
- Best tip is to go POTLUCK if part of your Christmas tradition is to have a family reunion.
