Because a little planning goes a long way, I wanted to pull together a go-to page of holiday planning tips for you. Included here are tips for cooking your turkey, recipe ideas, and even a few ideas for your holiday decor. You’ll notice that I’ve added some kids’ activities here as well. I’ve learned that if I don’t have something planned for them, my plans are quickly frustrated (and so are the kids!).
Plans go wrong for lack of advice; many advisers bring success. (Proverbs 15:22)
