Five ways to take the stress out of holiday prep this season

In Atlanta, holiday prep can mean hanging lights in a T-shirt one day and firing up the fireplace the next.

• No matter the forecast, there's plenty to tackle this holiday season: Maybe the tree lights are on the fritz, you still need a gift for the in-laws or that faucet in the guest bathroom still needs fixing.

What you need to know: You can cut down on the chaos and make fewer stops this year.

Here are five ways to make your holiday to-do list more manageable this year.

🎄 Set the scene. Nostalgia is trending this year. Lean into vintage-inspired faves with Rudolph and Friends lawn décor, colored outdoor lights, ceramic villages and Balsam Hill trees.

• Worth a mention: Lowe's offers permanent holiday lighting installation, so you can check one thing off next year's list, too.

🏠 Get guest-ready. Refresh the guest room with new linens, spruce up your tablescape and make sure your kitchen is ready for holiday cooking.

• Plus, plus, plus: Now's the time to tackle small DIY projects around the house, especially in common areas and guest rooms.

🎁 Knock out your gift list. Think beyond the toolbox. Lowe's is a go-to for DIYers and homeowners, but they also have unexpected gifts for pet parents, pros and kiddos.
