While I love the holidays, I really hate all the cleaning and tidying that has to be done beforehand. Why can't people come over and just accept the fact that we're a messy family? Okay, maybe that's my internal housekeeper who's pestering me, telling me I better make sure all the cat hair's been removed from the couch so Aunt Florence doesn't get strands of white fur on her new black cardigan.

Simplify Your Holiday Meal Planning
I'm all for simple. Although, we once went to my uncle's house for the holidays, and instead of finding a house full of yummy food, we found an empty fridge, a wad of cash on the table and a note asking us to make a short trip to the grocery store. My uncle didn't show up until the next day after all the food had been bought and prepared. Now that's simplifying!

Holiday Laundry Stain Removal Guide
I can never make it through a big holiday meal without some kind of laundry catastrophe. Usually I'm hit by a drop of wine or a spat of cranberry sauce and to top it all off, last year I ended up spilling a bowlful of gravy over my new silk skirt. Needless to say, no one ever wants to sit next to me at dinnertime.
