Your November Home Check List

Start preparing your home ready for Christmas now and you will be glad you did later!

Preparation for Christmas Hosting

If you plan on hosting Christmas dinner, or any festive parties get prepping now. Some easy jobs you can do to save time include washing and ironing table cloths and cloth napkins. Once done roll them up ready for storage to prevent wrinkles, and mist with fabric spray. You can also polish silverware ready for the big day.

Pull up a pew

I don't know about you, but for us at Christmas it seems we always need additional seating, particularly around our dining table where we play cards and board games. So, it's a good idea to inspect the chairs you have now, to make sure they are prepped for Christmas. Check the felt pads on the bottom of your chairs, and replace them if necessary to prevent scratching hardwood floors. Perhaps invest in some easy fold away chairs now, so you aren't lugging chairs to and from the attic.

Christmas shopping

If you plan to give presents this Christmas, begin your Christmas shopping early. It spreads the cost, lowers the stress and gives you ample time to wrap items up. You'll thank yourself come December 20th when you have all your shopping done and dusted.

Inspect the exterior of your home

Make sure to check the exterior of your home for any safety issues to prevent a disrupted Christmas. See our previous article here for more information as to what to look for.

Check your diary

If you are anything like me you will always see adverts for events AFTER they have happened. To avoid missing out on any Christmas Fairs, or events you can enjoy with the family, start googling now and get booking. It's always nice to have days out pencilled in the diary as a little treat to look forward to in the run up to Christmas.
