If your holiday schedule is crammed full, try dropping off your wrapped presents early. Mark them with: Don't open until Christmas, and you have one less stress for the big day. Even if you will see the person on Christmas Day, you know your gift exchange is already checked off and done!!
If making extra money for the holidays is on your agenda, just remember that what you flash brings in the cash. Another way to say it is that the cash flows where a shopper's attention goes. If you can get people to NOTICE your product or service, they will BUY what you have to sell. Get out there. Get noticed. Make your product or service sparkle, because what shines is what will tempt shoppers to spend their dimes!!
Even if you've had your first freeze, you can still mulch your favorite plants. Three inches will protect the roots up to ten degrees!! Your perennials' roots will survive to bloom another spring!
Start saving those egg cartons. Recycle them into ornament storage containers. Smaller ornaments (easily lost or damaged!) will be safe and protected in the sturdy cartons. You can even decorate them with holiday-themed spray paint for extra fun!
Your kiddos want new toys for the holidays, right? (Maybe your spouse, too!) Now's the time to ask them to clean out to make space for the new stuff coming in. Anticipation will bring out participation! Guaranteed!
