Whether you’re celebrating Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, or the Winter Solstice, there’s no question that holidays are more enjoyable when you have systems in place to minimize stress.

Opportunity for Chaos

Creating a great experience for the whole family is a daunting task. Between decorating, gift-giving, hosting parties, and delivering feasts, there are many opportunities for chaos. I don’t just mean leading up to and during events but putting things away for next year. Getting things organized and processes in place can improve the experience for everyone. 

The top areas to think about are:

1. Decorating and the Take-down 
2. Special Occasion Items Storage
3. Gift Management (hiding, wrapping, etc.)
4. Meal Planning (shopping, pantry, fridge, etc.)
5. Family Calendars (visits, travel, guests)
