HHP - Week Eighteen

 

House and Holiday Plan – Week Eighteen – New Year’s Week

Here’s what’s on the To-Do List for this week:

• Minimum maintenance. 
• Recycle holiday paper. 
• Write family thank-you notes. 
• Plan low-cost, no-cost activities for kids. 
• Decorate for New Year's. 
• Make New Year's resolutions. 
• Set up a calendar for the new year. 
• Take down and store decorations, but set up a "lost holiday box" for stragglers. 
• Hold a holiday debriefing. 

The holidays are over! Time to get back to reality, but before we do I like to take some time to reflect on how things went. Were we able to satisfactorily meet all our expectations and still find the wonder in the season? 

This year I loved hearing how one set of our grandchildren made and sold cinnamon swirl bread (39 loaves!) to earn money to spend at the Giving Machines. What a great new tradition!
