When your suit won’t close

The plan was to wear the tux that you bought for Joe and Kristina’s wedding again for this year’s Christmas Eve gala party. It’s the eve’s eve and you finally bothered trying it on…but it won’t close. 

?Solution: Head down to the shops or hire one.

 

When you want to feed them happy 

 

Some relatives you only meet twice a year, tops: at some family wedding, and during the Christmas tea-time reunion you organise every year. But this year you’ve been busy, and almost forgot that it’s your turn to organise and host the annual family tradition.

 

Solution: Order some cakes and pastries. After all, no one is really going to care about the tea or coffee.

 

When a mountain of gifts need wrapping

 

The shopping frenzy is over. You finally bought all the gifts for everyone in your family tree, including the present from your mother to your sister’s boyfriend. Now you need to wrap them all. 

 

 

Solution: Stock up on different types of wrapping paper and paper tags to make them look pretty, and to be able to recognise which gift is whose. 

 

When Santa risks being exposed

Your son found the tricycle he asked Santa for, parked in your wardrobe. His six years of life experience are leading to lots of questions. You need to make sure he keeps believing. 

Solution: Prove Santa exists. Head to a craft shop and get creative. One idea could be spraying Santa’s boot footprints near the Christmas tree. 

 

When you’re too hungover to clean 

This year you decided to take NYE into your own hands by organising it at home. You’ve invited your friends over and organised food, drinks and a super countdown. Then someone mentions clearing up the next day. Didn’t really think about it before, did you?

Solution: Sleep in and bring in the cleaning pros.  

 

When you just can’t take more food

 

For the past few weeks, all you’ve been doing is eating and drinking. You’re suffering from a leftover hangover. You’ve gotten to the point where the mere smell of food makes you sick. 

 

Solution: Keep it light. Enjoy fresh salads and smoothies for the next few days (or months).  

 

Planning ahead is always key when it comes to organising events, especially during the busy Christmas season. Leave nothing unaddressed and get your hands on a calendar or planner, with plenty of space for writing notes and to-do lists, from any of these Stationeries listed on Yellow.
