We all chip in a do some cleaning, I love to clean out the kids wardrobes earlier on so I know what they need as presents. I like to vacuum before the tree goes up, and then of course afterwards as all the fake snow comes off while you are putting the baubles and decorations on. We do not buy lots of themed stuff every year, but reuse and throw too tacky stuff out. I have some decorations that I remember using when my brother was alive, etc, that is so nice. I enjoy a clean house myself so that is why I clean, not for other people but for my own satisfaction.
