What are the ingredients for atmospheric, warm and cosy days and what else can you do, so that you have fewer obligations and can relax more? Here are 10 practical and innovative tips for you to make your home cozy and enjoy carefree!

1) Planning: Put all the practical things together, such as: When to get a Christmas tree? What are you doing on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Christmas Day? Are there anything else in your calendar? Try to keep as much free as possible around Christmas and New Year. But maybe you want to go out to dinner too? Booking is advisable. You can also go to a Christmas market.

2) Invite: Are you invited to Christmas or do you want to invite people yourself? Don't you want to be alone or not? You can also see if there is, for example, a Christmas dinner somewhere. In the village house eg? Prepare yourself for invitations and especially look at what you want yourself. You can usually not avoid 'mandatory numbers' but you can arrange a maximum time with yourself or your partner/family.

3) Garden: Start in your garden when the weather is dry, should it still be necessary; one last time mowing grass, pruning if you can/may. Rake leaf and work with your Christmas lights outside, if desired. Also, a pair of flower pots with Skimmias, a number of lanterns or a Christmas wreath at the door are an atmospheric sight.

4) Clean up and clean up: Where do you want your Christmas tree to be? And your Christmas villages, do you receive Christmas cards and other frills? Clean up or throwa/give away and clean up is now handy, so that you can get rid of everything well and now you can still access everything. Also keep in mind that there will be many cables and sockets everywhere. Are these (still) safe?
