Christmas is a challenge for many people every year. Even if the date falls on December 25 and 26, as it does every year, it's always surprising, how much preparation is needed.
The earlier you start, the better you can also celebrate together as early as December 24, Christmas Eve. Since December 24 falls on a Saturday in 2022, hardly any employees will have to apply for leave or still work first. The day can therefore be included in the planning in the best possible way.
The preparation for Christmas 2022
The earlier you start taking care of Christmas preparations, the more relaxed you can start the holiday season.
In order to know what is in store for you, deal in good time with where the celebration will take place and who is coming. Especially for families where the locations change, this sometimes makes for somewhat lengthy discussions. Having such a conversation just before Christmas 2022 creates a negative mood that can affect the entire celebration.
Start buying gifts as early as possible. It is not necessary to use the last days of the year. It is much better to use at least the last few weeks to catch a good deal.
Tip: Advent calendars can be purchased especially cheap in the last days of November. However, the availability may already be significantly limited.
Checklist for Christmas 2022

Checklist for the first two weeks in December

- Making Christmas gifts with children (for grandparents, aunts, etc.)

- Make a list of people who should receive a gift
- Get gifts
- Book cleaning help for Christmas or arrange appointments
December 6 is the day of Santa Claus. So in the first week of December, there are a few more little gifts that you need to get. Especially children are excited to be able to participate in parades or events. Some chocolate, a few tangerines and nuts can not be missing there traditionally.
Tip: Home-baked cookies make a great little souvenir.
Checklist for the third week of December
Slowly the time until Christmas is getting short. It becomes all the more important to get the last gifts so as not to get into a hectic rush during the last days.
Additionally, the following items lend themselves to your personal Christmas checklist:
- Buy Christmas tree
- Buy candles or fairy lights or check existing material
- Get Christmas tree ball and other Christmas decorations
- Packing parcels for shipping
- Use the time for a visit to the Christmas market
- Write shopping list for Christmas dinner as well as the holidays
Attention: Do not underestimate the time for each activity. With many Christmas parties coming up in December, the remaining time can quickly become very tight. So it is all the better if you use all the help you can get during this time.
Checklist for the last days before Christmas 2022
You should use the last days before Christmas 2022 to shop for the most important groceries.
It's best to start making your first purchases as early as Monday, December 19, 2022. On the list are mainly drinks and frozen products, for which you have enough space.
In the evening, you can relax on the couch and download a few suitable playlists for Christmas. If you have a little more time and the music selection is important to you, you can create your very own Christmas playlist with all your favorite songs.
Tuesday can be quite relaxed this year. It's best to take care of the things for which there has been no time so far. For example, get your Christmas outfit ready. Perhaps it must also be ironed once again. Feel free to carry this request to your cleaner from Suuber .
On Wednesday, December 21, you should get your cards and packages to the post office so they can arrive in time for Christmas and be under the Christmas tree.
On Thursday you can start the next shopping. This time there are many fresh foods on the list. Fruits and vegetables can easily keep for a few days. For meat and fish, on the other hand, wait for the 23rd or even the morning of December 24.
On Friday, it is best to already chill drinks and prepare desserts. The 23rd of December is also a good time to put up the Christmas tree.
Tip: Take advantage of times on December 24 when children are not home or playing in their room to drape gifts under the Christmas tree.
Checklist for the last days before Christmas 2022
Since there is already enough to do at Christmas, it is best to leave the cleaning to a cleaner. Register now with Suuber to look directly for cleaning help. The checklist for Christmas 2022 is still long enough as it is.
