Prepare Your Home for the Holidays

Will you be the hostess with the mostess this holiday? Christmas lights and carols may lift your spirits this time of year, but getting your home ready for a house full of guests can be tough.

Quickly conquer your list of chores so you don't miss a beat of your favorite holiday melody. Below is a checklist to keep you on track and make the cleaning process a little easier:

The Kitchen
The heart of your home and likely the center of your holiday activities. In order to make room for your beautiful buffet you'll want to clear out as much counter space as possible. Store unneeded appliances in hidden cabinet space and make sure your counter tops are in good condition.

The Bathroom
A popular place for a host to clean when guests arrive all through the year, and you certainly don't want to skip out on it this holiday. If the tile looks old or worn, you can quickly freshen it up with a layer of new grout. Check to make sure the bathroom fan works properly to provide efficient ventilation and, of course, stock the cabinet with plenty of fresh hand and bath towels for all of your guests to make use of (Festive holiday designs always add a nice touch).

The Guest Room
Change out the linens for fresh ones and clear out any closet space you may use for alternative purposes throughout the year. The holiday is a popular time for people to take a long vacation so they don't want to feel uncomfortable by living out of a suitcase.
