Holiday Tips & Tricks

Have More, Do Less

The holiday season is full of bustling from one place to another, seeing friends and family near and far. It’s also time consuming, so here are some tips to make your holiday season easier and richer. If you find yourself caught up in the kitchen for too many hours cooking for guests, here is a great brunch recipe to make the DAY BEFORE, so that you can enjoy opening presents and making rich memories!

Sausage & Egg Souffle

6 eggs
2 cups milk
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 pound sausage
1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Instructions: Crumble and brown sausage. Drain on paper towel. In a bowl, beat the eggs. Add milk, salt, mustard and bread cubes. Mix well. Add cheese and sausage. Place in lightly greased 8″ x 12″ dish. Place in refrigerator overnight. On Christmas or New Years morning, bake the dish at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes. Let stand a few minutes before serving. Pairs well with mimosas and coffee.

You Are a Superhero

Every thing homemade may be a tradition in your home, and is definitely amazing, but be encouraged to enjoy the moment this holiday and not feel like everything has to be homemade. Homemade eggnog is great, but don’t sweat it, just grab a carton of Southern Comfort at the nearest grocery and everyone will enjoy sipping. Sprinkle nutmeg on top for added flavor, or add 1oz. of kentucky bourbon for special toasting.

Remember, to KEEP THINGS SIMPLE
Spread out your activities over the holidays. Pace yourself, tell stories, share gratitudes, listen, hug, love, laugh!

Making Memories

Sometimes simple is better. One way to make a memory that will be told for years or generations to come, is sitting down by the warm fireplace and reading the Christmas Story all together, or reflecting upon the past year, playing seasonal music, baking a family recipe or crafting a New Year Vision Board. Find chalk or bulletin boards and crafting supplies at a local craft store and cut out magazine photos of your 2020 goals.

Need something TO DO over the holiday?

1. String up popcorn and cranberries, or sliced dehydrated orange slices for a homemade garland. Tip: stale, day old popcorn is easier to string.
2. Gather fresh greenery! Ask places that sell Christmas trees for loose branches and cuttings that have fallen off. Use silica gel packets to dry flowers and greenery. Place in lanterns or wreaths or candelabra for easy home decorations.

From everyone at Rector Hayden REALTORS, we hope that you have a joyful holiday season and a Happy New Year! Here’s to 2020!
