December Organization - Day 5

Your menu is written, tweaked and complete.  If friends or family asks what they can bring to contribute to the meal,  for goodness sake, let them.  Even if it's just a 2 litre of soda or their signature broccoli-cheese casserole, every little bit helps make your holiday a little more stress free.

Now you need to decide if you have enough pots, pans and baking dishes to get the job done.  Get your recipe cards out and take an inventory of the utensils needed to prepare that particular dish. Now put those recipe cards in an envelope marked "Christmas Recipes" and tape it to the inside of your cupboard door so you don't have to search for them later.

Next, make sure everything is in working order.  Is the mixer ready to mix, the blender ready to blend and the chopper ready to chop.  Nothing worse than finding something broken on Christmas Day!
