Countdown to Christmas and New Year’s Day

By now you are two days from Christmas Eve. How’s the bathroom everyone will use? Perhaps a quick cleaning is called for. Don’t forget fresh towels if you’re having overnight guests. How many days will Grandma and Grandpa be here? (Or any other guests) make sure your home is in tip top shape for their visit. Make them feel like they are at a resort especially if it is your grandparents. I miss mine dearly. 

Now the kitchen. Who is going to cook the main protein? What will they need? Put everything out where it’s easily accessible for that person. It saves time come Christmas morning. 

Grocery shopping time. By now you have all of your non-perishable items. So by today you have only veggies to get, and paper products left. Extra box of garbage bags should be at the top of that list. Of course, I am sure you have been securing the holiday items needed. Like the platter we discussed back at week two. Without fail Aunt Hilda will come through for you. But pick up something just in case. Walmart has some really nice platters by Pioneer Woman Rhee Drummond and Better Homes & Gardens. Personally, I would check out thrift stores first. Yeah! Never know what you find there.

Hello y'all! I have hit a point in my life that I miss the simple dishes and times that my parents grew up in. People were kind to each other and the food was homemade from scratch. Before convince food was everywhere. Oh, those were the days... Let's reclaim them and start cooking from scratch again.
