Christmas morning goes so quickly! Maybe running around gathering supplies for all the new goodies makes it last longer, but it certainly doesn’t add to the magic. Now is the time to prep your “Christmas Morning Sanity Saver Basket”. What a name, right?
Despite the crazy name I’ve assigned for it, it’s not complicated. This will also give you an idea of anything else you need to pick up at the store- think batteries!
Grab you a basket (or any other container looks don’t matter unless you want them to)
Hopefully you are reading this with time to prepare your box ahead of the big day! I sure hope you are because I think this is gonna be great for my brain to have all ready to go on Monday morning!
- Scissors. Who designed these packages? We are gonna need scissors to get in them!
- Pocket knife- sometimes you need a knife rather than scissors. Maybe this is a me situation?
- Flat head and Phillips head screwdriver- if you only have one you will need the opposite, it’s scientific.
- Pen/marker- this seems like a good thing to already know where is so I’m not wanting one and scrambling.
- Batteries! Nothing comes with batteries anymore! Make sure you have AA and AAA, and if you bought a kid’s metal detector maybe a set of 9V. I was glad I checked that before orderin batteries.
- Bonus- extra wrapping paper and tape! Sometimes we get a little overzealous and open gifts that aren’t supposed to be opened by us, woops!
Most of all I hope you have the merriest of Christmases this year!
