For Christmas, my mom and I pooled together some money and gave me and my family a clean house -- a woman came to clean my house last Saturday and Sunday and did more than just mop and dust and vacuum. She also cleaned out closets, threw out accumulated trash, washed the backlog of laundry, and organized here and there. My house feels so joyful right now and I had no idea how HUGE the master bedroom was. She got rid of so much stuff that it echoes!
Because things are clean (and still clean 3 days later -- I am continuing to clean before it gets backed up) I am thinking of hosting a Christmas open house. I've never been able to do that before and I think it would be fun to plan with my children. But I want it to have a "spin" to it -- something that takes the emphasis off of the stress of the holiday and focuses on enjoying friends and family and/or giving to those in need, etc. I'm posting this because I would love your ideas to make this open house special. I'd invite the church members, the girls' friends and families, and others in the community we've just come to enjoy. Help me know how to word the invitations. ;o)
