The best way to prepare for Christmas each year is to write a checklist. Santa didn’t check his list twice for no reason, and we can all take some inspiration from the Big Man this winter. To help you remain organised over the holiday period, lists are key to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Most of us have our usual gift and grocery lists for Christmas, but you can also make lists to organise your Christmas decorations. The following checklist will help you deck your halls for the festive season and make sure nothing is forgotten for Christmas 2023.
Artificial Christmas trees
One of the most important Christmas decorations is the Christmas tree, so this should be top of your list. You can even add extra artificial Christmas trees to your list if you fancy jollying up other rooms in your house this year.
Tree decorations
After you’ve decided on your tree, you need to make sure you have decorations to cover it. You can choose from baubles, tinsels, ornaments and ribbons, depending on your colour scheme and taste.
Christmas lights
Christmas lights are important for brightening up your tree, but they can also be used to bring that cosy magic into other parts of your home this Christmas. Many people drape them on the mantelpiece, along bannisters, or even use outdoor Christmas lights to welcome visitors in from the cold.
Additional features
Once you’ve sorted your tree, decorations and lights, you might see a few places in your home where you can add a few holiday extras, such as wreaths, garlands or candles. These are sure to get even the biggest Scrooge into the Christmas spirit.
