If you are like us, you are feeling a little whiplash from the months flying by this year. When did we hit NOVEMBER? And if you are like us, your mind is already spinning with all the upcoming holiday prep between now and January.

The holidays are such a fun, festive time to gather friends and family, but if you are the one hosting and entertaining guests, the festivities can come with a lot of stress. Whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas or New Years Eve, we’ve put together some tips for getting your home holiday ready:

1. Make a List
The ultimate way to reduce stress leading up to opening your home to guests is to create a list. Having your tasks in one place will make your preparations feel much more manageable, and what’s better than crossing off each item?!

2. Plan Ahead
To avoid last minute chaos, check some items off your list ahead of time. There are many things that can be done ahead of time, such as polishing your silver, washing your china and crystal, and even setting your table the week leading up to your party.

4. Ask for help
There is no reason you have to take on all the load! Have guests bring a side dish. Assign chores to family members. Schedule appointments with professionals……
