Here are just a few of the things that you can do to prepare for the big day…

Prepare the Food – The big meal on Christmas day is something that many people look forward to at this time of the year. Spending time planning it in advance can not only cut the cost but alleviate the stress too! Work out what you are going to serve and what you need, and you can start buying some items in advance. Many supermarkets also do a Christmas order, so you don’t have to search the shops frantically on Christmas eve!

Christmas Shopping – Plan this ahead so that you don’t have a last-minute rush and also plan a budget to stop you from overspending. If the kids have any special toys on their list get them sooner rather than later as they can often sell out as December approaches.
