Does anyone else have to deep clean for the holidays? [View all]

I tend to let things go, and then when comapny is coming, I have to declutter, wash, dust, change beds, clean appliances, fixtures, floors, and then figure out food, and decorations if the holiday calls for them. Every year, I promise myself I'll do better, and I fail.

I realized this week that I'll clean, but if anyone wants to come for food, I'll take them out.
