Last-Minute Christmas Eve Tips for Parents

Christmas Eve can be chaotic. Here are tips to make it smoother:

Prepare Outfits Tonight

  • Lay out tomorrow's outfits
  • Check that everything fits
  • Have backup options ready
  • Don't forget accessories

Quick Stain Removal

If something gets stained:

  • Act immediately
  • Blot, don't rub
  • Use cold water
  • Have stain remover handy

Emergency Options

If you need last-minute items:

  • Check TrunkMatch for local sellers
  • Look for same-day pickup options
  • Have a backup outfit ready
  • Don't stress - kids don't notice as much as we do

Keep It Simple

  • Simple outfits are often best
  • Comfort matters more than perfection
  • Kids will remember fun, not outfits
  • Focus on being present, not perfect

For Tomorrow

  • Set out everything tonight
  • Charge cameras/phones
  • Prepare snacks
  • Get rest - you'll need it!

Remember

The holidays are about togetherness, not perfection. Your kids will remember the time together, not what they wore.

Merry Christmas from TrunkMatch!
