The Week Before Christmas--Green Clean Checklist

Feeling in the mood for a light-hearted Christmas comedy, I watched “Christmas with the Kranks” last night. As in the movie, if loved ones cannot be with us, we are less inclined to decorate and or host holiday get togethers.  If holiday guests are on the docket, that can be our motivation for making our homes as festive as possible .  I hope your guests gave you more advanced notice than the Krank’s received!

With one week to go before Christmas, are you finding yourself scrambling to get everything ready?  Though we can’t purchase gifts for you, we can give you a Christmas green cleaning checklist to help you maintain a green clean, tidy environment for your family and guests. 

The Week Before Christmas --Green Cleaning Checklist:

Create Mental Space During the Holidays

I love to look at beautifully decorated homes all decked out for Christmas.  However, I find pleasure in bringing out just a few of my favorite Christmas decorations.  The simple Christmas décor in my home has a calming effect on myself and my family.  It is a bit of a mystery but, less décor = more mental space. 
Perhaps, you could use more mental space this holiday season.  You may want to consider less decorations in exchange for more mental space.

Take it a step further and create a simplified gift list.  Maybe you began your Christmas shopping, but are feeling overwhelmed.  Maybe you have not even begun shopping and yet feel overwhelmed, either way, you'll find some relief in this post!
