Question Week

Week Two? It's all about questions during Question Week in the Holiday Grand Plan.

During this week, we'll continue making lists and planning our holiday. We'll get in touch with our values through important questions. In the cleaning component, we tackle the living room, decluttering and deep-cleaning to prepare for holiday entertaining.

Ready? Let's get organized with the Holiday Grand Plan!

Grand Plan Deep Cleaning/Organizing Area:

• Living Room
• Living room cleaning checklist form

Holiday Prep:

• Buy extra flour, sugar, shortening, etc.
• Make one extra meal for the freezer labeled HOLIDAY MEAL. This should be large enough to feed the family plus two people.
  (Find recipes and ideas for freezer cooking at OrganizedHome.Com's Freezer Cooking Guide.)

Browse Week:

• Develop ideas for gifts, decorations.
• Order Christmas cards and address labels.
• For your friends of other religions take the time to find out what their major holiday is and look for an appropriate card to send to them at that time.
• Divide gift responsibilities with other family members.

This week's printable forms from OrganizedChristmas.Com include:
