CHRISTMAS PLANNING
30 Day Countdown to Christmas
If the demands of
the holidays always seem to bunch up in the frantic last few days,
why not try these timely tips on cleaning, organizing, decorating
and cooking, courtesy of Home Made Simple online at
homemadesimple.ca. Here's a sampler of their 30-day countdown to the
holidays:
4 Weeks Before:
Get Out Your
Calendar: Mark parties, concerts and tasks. This allows you to
schedule when to clean, bake, wrap, decorate, shop, and reserve time
for yourself and family.
Gifts: Buy
as much as possible in advance and wrap them immediately.
Holiday Food:
Gather recipes, take inventory of ingredients needed, check for
available food containers and make a master-shopping list.
Clean and
Purge: If you do one good clean now you can keep it up quickly
through the month by spot cleaning here and there throughout the
holidays. Tip: Make jobs simple with supplies like Swiffer Dusters
and Swiffer Sweep+Vac, as well as Mr. Clean MagicReach and Mr. Clean
Magic Eraser. This is the time to clean any hard to reach places
like bathrooms, ceilings, corners and under sofas and tables. The
extendable handles on MagicReach and Swiffer Dusters are ideal for
these jobs.
2-3 Weeks Before:
Time To Bake:
Lay out all the ingredients and baking supplies right at the start
to make the task more organized and enjoyable. Bake, then freeze for
future needs. Tip:Clean up after baking can be easy. Wash baking
pans and utensils with the grease-cutting power of Dawn in the sink
or Cascade 2in1 ActionPacs in the dishwasher.
Trim The Tree:
This is a great event for the whole family, especially if you have
hot chocolate, sweet treats and holiday music on hand. Examine all
decorations and lights (see tree trimming tips at homemadesimple.ca)
and to make sure everything will sparkle, give them a thorough
dusting with Swiffer Dusters.
1 Week Before
Fill The
Freezer: Prepare make-ahead dishes and freeze. These will be a
lifesaver after a long day of shopping or for unexpected guests.
Raid The
Fridge: Clean out and free up space on the inside. Use Mr. Clean
Antibacterial Multi-Surface Cleaner on the outside to give it a
streak-free shine.
Make Your
Entrance Grand: Clean and free up space in your hall closet.
Tip: Use Febreze Air Effects in your closet to eliminate odours. Use
Febreze Fabric Refresher to eliminate odours and freshen the rugs
and carpets. Use Magic Eraser by Mr. Clean to remove scuffmarks from
door trim, doors and handles.
1 Day Before:
Set The Stage:
After a quick spot clean, set a beautiful holiday dining table and
place fresh candles and flowers throughout the house.

HANUKKAH RECIPE
Beef Brisket
Ingredients:
4-5 lb beef brisket
5 cloves of minced garlic
3 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
2 thinly sliced onions
3 tbsp flour
1/2 cup water
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
There are various ways to cook a beef
brisket, but a crockpot is by far the best way to get great results!
Put the onions in the crockpot first, then place the brisket on top.
You'll want the fat side to be facing up. Mix the vinegar, ketchup,
brown sugar, and spices together and pour over meat. Add enough
water so that the bottom of the crockpot is covered. Then, cook on
low for around 10 hours. To make gravy, take the brisket out of the
crockpot when done cooking. Add flour to the remaining broth, add
flour, and cook on high while stirring frequently. When gravy is to
desired consistency, remove from heat.

CHRISTMAS TREE DECORATING
Creative Christmas Tree Themes
Christmas trees are a staple of the holiday season. There are real
trees, and artificial trees. Which you choose is simply a matter
of preference. Some people enjoy the convenience of an artificial
tree, while others love the traditional look and feel of the real
thing. Regardless of what kind of tree you prefer, you'll need to
decorate it! While some people adorn their tree with a mishmash of
ornaments they've collected over the years, others go with a
particular theme. Here are some popular choices:
Sports Theme: For a sports theme, why not celebrate your
favorite sports team! You can find ornaments bearing your favorite
team colors and insignias. Or, you could decorate your tree with
ornaments like miniature footballs, basketballs, soccer balls,
baseballs and bats, and other sports-related items.
Ballerina Theme: A ballerina theme is a feminine way to
deck out your Christmas tree! For this theme, try ornaments that
look like tiny ballerinas or ballet slippers. Pale pink is the
color of choice for this girly tree theme!
Fisherman Theme: For a fisherman theme, choose ornaments
that look like miniature fishing poles and tackleboxes. You can
also hang artificial lures from your tree. There are a variety of
ornaments out there that look just like different species of fish!
