At times, it seems like getting your home ready for the holidays could be overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be that way. As long as you take an organized and methodical approach to prepping your home and then it won’t seem to be too big of a job. The goal is to do a little bit each day in the coming week and then you’ll be decked out in time for Christmas. Here’s what you should consider:
Light Up Your Doorways
If you expect a lot of visitors over the holidays, then you’ll want to make sure your doorways are well lit. Not only should you make sure you’re swapping out the old incandescent bulbs for warm LED bulbs but also make sure your Christmas lights are secured. You don’t want them blowing off in the wind.
Inspect Your Appliances
This is the time of year that you want to make sure everything in your kitchen is in working order. There is going to be a lot of baking and cooking coming up the following weeks and you don’t want anything breaking down. Of course, an appliance that isn’t working or one that’s missing is a perfect excuse to make a special request of Santa. You might also want to think about buying a separate freezer. This is a smart investment given how much you can stock in there and not just during the holidays. A backup freezer can be placed in the garage without taking up a lot of room. You’ll find yourself buying a lot more in bulk this way and that’s a good thing.
Fireproof Your Home
If you have a fireplace, then you should make sure you have your annual fireplace clean up. Getting your hearth and chimney inspected by a pro is a good way to prevent accidents. But it is not just a fireplace that you need to be aware of. Make sure if you light a candle that you put it out before leaving the room. You don’t want those burning overnight. Hopefully, you swapped out your smoke alarm batteries at the last daylight saving time. If not, then add that to your list.
Get Rid Of Rubbish
Before you put up one sprig of Holly or string one strand of lights you want to make sure that all the rubbish is removed from your home.
