  3. Buy in bulk – crackers, appetizers (salsa, hummus, etc.)
  4. Extra gifts to have on hand (bless people twice with this holiday prep secret)

  6. Fresh fruit and nuts for decorations
  7. Use “broken” ornaments upside down in a glass bowl
  8. Kid decorations – make it special
  9. Music – get that playlist ready.
