Toyota of Clermont has the perfect guide for you to get into the spirit of the season before it’s completely acceptable.

Getting Holiday Ready Without Going Overboard

Start Getting Your Lights Out of Storage

If your holiday lights are tucked away in the garage or attic or maybe locked away in a storage unit somewhere, you might want to start finding them. A good holiday celebrator wastes no time when it comes to decorating their house and you need to be ready as soon as Thanksgiving dinner is over. When you have some spare time, start to comb through your storage areas and find your decorations and lights so you’re ready when December rolls around.

Plan Out Your Holiday Recipes

The holidays are the best time of the year for baking delicious treats like cookies, cakes, and everything in between. It’s time to finally dive into all the cooking videos you’ve saved throughout the year and start compiling them. We recommend printing out your preferred recipes for easy reference and so you can easily refer to them later. After you’ve found your recipes, create a big list of ingredients and get ready to do some grocery shopping.

Read Gift Catalogs

There’s no better time to catch up on the latest toys, clothes, and video games than the holiday season as you’ll likely be purchasing several as gifts for others. To gear up for the season, start browsing through gift catalogs and guides and do plenty of research to make sure you’re planning on purchasing the right and perfect gifts.

Start Looking for a Tree

If you’re the type of holiday decorator that loves the smell of pine needles and likes to use a natural tree, it might be time to start looking. There’s nothing more fun than enjoying the brisk weather and combing through tree after tree in search of the perfect one to bring into your home. With so many places selling trees during the holiday season, you’ll definitely have your work cut out for you. Don’t forget to coordinate your decorations and a general color scheme for your tree.

Queue Up Your Holiday Movie Watchlist

Holiday movies are easily one of the best parts of getting into the holiday spirit. As you’ll likely be spending a great deal of time enjoying the cinema of the season, make sure to prep ahead of time by getting a watchlist or queue together.

Ready for the holiday season already? Festive fun and cheer are just around the corner. Have fun preparing and enjoy the start of the holiday season!
