How to Prepare For the Holidays

The holidays might seem like an odd time to “spring” clean, but after the Thanksgiving leftovers are gone and before Christmas is actually the perfect time to declutter and deep clean. By getting ahead of the chaos, you can pull out the holiday decorations knowing you’re starting with a clean slate.

Start preparing your home for the holidays by going through closets and drawers, setting aside anything to donate, hand down, or recycle. Once the space feels lighter, turn on some jams and refresh every room with Truly Free Home Everyday Peppermint Everyday Cleaner.

It’s a simple way to reset your home before the holidays. And since Truly Free Home Peppermint Everyday Cleaner is plant-based and free from toxic fragrances or harsh chemicals, you can feel good about using it around your whole family. Plus, the festive scent will infuse your home with holiday cheer.

Lean Into Traditions & Make Lasting Memories

One Christmas, our family realized we had as many pies as people at the table. Everyone had brought something to share—including a pie.

The result? A Christmas “pie tasting,” where we sliced tiny slivers of each one, piled them high on our plates, and handed out pretend awards for “Flakiest Crust,” “Best Flavor,” and “Most Original.” It was silly, sweet, and something we still talk about years later.

That’s the beauty of traditions—they’re the moments that become memories. Whether you’re baking your family’s favorite recipes, decorating the house, crafting ornaments, or piling into the car to see Christmas lights, the things you return to year after year are what make the holidays truly special.

Don’t have any traditions? Now’s a great time to start one. It doesn’t have to be complicated or involved. Simply get your friends or family together to do something you all love, and watch it grow with meaning as you keep it up year after year.

Say Yes to Less

You don’t have to say yes to everything. If the office white elephant gift exchange or a holiday party doesn’t spark joy, it’s okay to skip it.

Saying no to the things that don’t light you up creates space for the things that do. Maybe it’s a festive wreath from the farmer’s market that makes the front door feel welcoming, or a simple family tradition that always brings a smile. This holiday season, when invitations, to-do lists, or decisions about matching pajamas come your way, ask yourself: Can I simplify it, delegate it, or skip it altogether?

When the holiday schedule is overloaded, there’s less energy left for what matters most. And if the season teaches us anything, it’s that giving matters more than getting.

So take a deep breath, leave room in your calendar, ask for help when you need it, and remember to notice the little sparkles—whether it’s twinkling tree lights or your children’s smiles.

That’s what truly makes the holidays merry and bright.
