Tips include:

#1 Make a Holiday Closet

#2 Use Clear Bins

#3 Organize With an Inventory App

and more.

Top Christmas Songs of All Time

While you’re organizing and decorating the house, enjoy our favorite Christmas songs over an open fire. 🔥

Top Christmas Songs of All Time
Top Christmas Songs of All Time

Christmas songs and carols are just as much a tradition as Christmas movies, and since last time we did our Top 10 movies, we thought it would be a good idea to do music this year, thus the title,  Top Christmas Songs of All Time.

But there are a gazillion or so Christmas songs out there, and since we did 10 movies last year, 10 songs sounded about right.

But, trimming down the thousands of songs to just 10 is nearly impossible, so we decided to:

A) include a mix of traditional carols, hymns, and more modern tunes that you might hear on the radio today. (Do they still have radios? 📻)

B) choose songs we could find videos for on YouTube.

So in that spirit, here are our Top Christmas Songs from 2017.

Plus we included the lyrics to each song so you can sing along. 👩🏻‍🎤👨🏻‍🎤🎶

Tips on Preparing For the New Year

So the past few years have been pretty tough. Let’s start off 2022 the best we can.

With the arrival of 2022, it’s the perfect time to put forth a good attitude to start the year off right, knowing that things aren’t going back to “normal” but we can make the most of it.

Whether you’re moving to a new place — be it a whole new city, just a new home, or just a new frame of mind — it’s important to do all you can to set yourself up for success.

Let’s plan ahead and pull out all the positivity we can so we can start 2022 on a high note: that means outlining some resolutions for the new year.

If you haven’t made resolutions before, now’s the perfect time to start. If you have made resolutions before, chances are you’ve made the same one every year. No, really!

Statistics show that more than 60% of people made the same resolution for 2020 that they made in 2019. If you’re down to try something new, let’s consider the options.

9 Ways to Share the Spirit of the Season

As the saying goes, sharing is caring. Remember this holiday season to give back to the community around you. You’ll make this world a better place.

The holiday season is upon us, and many of us have already begun to celebrate. From trimming trees to lighting candles, it’s the time of year to fill your homes (and hearts) with holiday joy.

But there’s no need to stop at your front door. Let the spirit of the season radiate outward from your house into your community.

Some homeowners hang outdoor lights and decorations to help make the neighborhood “merry and bright.” But that’s not the only way to share the magic of the holidays with others.

Not sure where to start? Check out these 9 inspirational ideas for spreading cheer far and near!

THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

You probably don’t have to look far to find someone who could benefit from a gift or kind gesture this time of year. Try one (or all) of these ideas for sharing the season with those closest to home.


From all of us at Guthrie Group Homes, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Libby, Ken, and Brittany.

🅰 Pay less for a home today with a higher mortgage rate?⁣
OR⁣
🅱 Wait and pay more for a home with a lower rate?⁣
⁣
👉 If you're unsure, consider this: Buying at a lower price (even with a higher mortgage rate) can mean less competition and a chance to refinance later if rates drop.⁣
