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!
