And now that it's time to trim the tree, test light decorations, avoid overloading electrical outlets, and remember to water the tree regularly. To avoid any last minute stress, begin to prepare a week before the holiday. Check the cupboards and closets for extra paper products, plastic utensils, coffee filters, candles, etc. Clean the house or better yet, hire someone to clean a few days before the big event. If time is running out, be realistic and delegate tasks.
Holidays are a great time to enjoy the company of family and friends.

A few good choices for most age groups are Pictionary, Outburst, and Taboo. This will create a sense of participation, contribution, and belonging.
