It’s December and most of us will start thinking about getting ready to gather with family and friends to celebrate the Holiday season at home. This is a big entertaining time of year so getting a few things done around the house before the crowds visit may be high on your list.

While it’s not the best idea to start a major renovation a month before Christmas, you can definitely take care of those small details that will make your home more inviting and comfortable for your guests. Also, any easy home DIY projects done before Christmas will reap rewards long after Christmas has passed.

Try to get your small projects done in early December so that you have the end of the month to entertain, visit and spend time with those important to you. Being organized is crucial for this time of year. You don’t want a project to drag on longer than it should.

When it’s time to start decorating for Christmas, begin by decluttering your house in key areas. The rooms you will be spending the most time in will benefit from a clearing out before you add your Christmas decor. Use your Christmas decoration boxes to store your everyday decor then switch them back after the Holidays. Enjoy yourself as you decorate your house.

Find everything that you need to create a holiday-ready home at your local TIMBER MART. Fixing up your home for Christmas is rewarding and will get you in the Holiday spirit.
