Have the Most, the Merriest!

Let’s be brutally honest. Are any of you out there—like me—who failed your organizational skills majorly this year? Despite good intentions, life happens, and here we are with only ten days to go until Christmas, feeling completely unprepared—and that’s an understatement. Despair not, the game is not yet lost, and you can still have the most and the merriest season of all! There’s ample time to tackle a few things, so check out my list below. It is a small round-up of all my Christmas-related posts from this year and years past to help you cozy up to the best time of the year.

It’s the final countdown – Get all the Christmas glam with really cheap pieces

1. Decluttering projects tackled near the end of the year can be a real mood booster. They tend to feel more “cleansing” and calming, make you feel more accomplished, and set the mood for new, refreshed beginnings. If you’re sick and tired of carrying Christmas storage bins to and from the attic/basement/garage, now’s your chance to declutter and donate tons of stuff. You can still maintain a cozy, wintertime decor with a few selected, affordable, and minimal pieces:

2. You can still wear your baking hat to make the best, light, and crumbly Christmas sugar/butter cookies you’ll have ever tasted! They are to die for and well worth your time, I promise:

3. I don’t suppose you’ll be hosting Christmas dinner this year but if you need a recipe or two for the office party potluck, you can browse several delicious ideas in this post:

4. Make your own Gingerbread Spice Mix—it is the easiest and quickest of projects! You can use it in all your holiday baking or sprinkle it merrily on your hot chocolate. In a cute little jar, it can also be a really sweet, inexpensive, homemade hostess gift or stocking stuffer:

5. Embrace the ultimate hygge! Cozy up by the fireplace with the perfect fur blanket and the perfect mug cake:

6. Whip up the easiest breeziest orange-flavored mini muffins. They’ll be a perfect addition to your Christmas morning breakfast buffet:

7. Last, but not least, don’t forget to browse my Giftguides page for some last-minute online gift-shopping ideas. You’ll definitely find something interesting for the techie, coffee aficionado, beauty junky, or planner addict in your life!

And so, my friends
