Deck the Halls: Your Ultimate Christmas Home Prep Checklist
Welcome the festive season in style (and safety) with our essential Christmas home prep checklist, designed to make your celebrations merry, bright and hassle-free.
Let’s start with the boring bits
1) Safety first: Test smoke alarms – this is important as you may be using many more electrical items than usual, and candles often feature in setting a festive mood.
2) Festive clean-up: Get cracking with a thorough home clean, focusing on communal areas like the living room, kitchen, toilet and bathroom.
3) Heating check: Ensure your heating system is functioning efficiently. Bleed radiators and set timers for a consistently cosy home over the Christmas break and beyond.
4) Emergency contacts: Keep a list of emergency contacts, such as plumbers and electricians, handy for any unforeseen home issues.
Getting ready for the party
5) Guest room ready: Prepare rooms with fresh bedding and extra towels. Add a small festive touch to make guests feel welcome.
6) Packing the pantry: Load up on holiday essentials, including baking supplies, snacks and traditional meal ingredients. (As if we had to remind you to do that.)
7) Outdoor magic: Decorate your home’s exterior. A welcoming wreath, window lights or a simple display enhances the festive spirit.
8) Relax and enjoy: After all that preparation, relax and enjoy the holiday atmosphere. Remember, it’s about family, fun and creating magical memories.
All of us at Grey & Co wish you a very Merry Christmas.
