One week till Christmas

It’s almost here — there’s only a few final details to work out.

To buy
• Fresh produce
• Snack foods
• Hors d’oeuvres

To do
• Cleaning the house so everything looks impeccable.
• Shoveling and deicing the driveway, walkway and stairs, if necessary.

To bake
• Christmas cookies for Santa (you can also prepare a batch for the reindeer who pull his sleigh).

To plan
• Where guests who’ll be spending the night at your house will sleep (both planned guests and those who may end up staying over unexpectedly).

And voila, everything is ready for your yuletide festivities; all you have left to do is welcome your guests and let the good times roll.

Merry Christmas!
