Getting ready to host Christmas!

I have volunteered to have Christmas Day at my house this year. It has always been at my Mom's or for the last several years,my Aunt's, and any attempts to move it to a different place have always been frowned upon. This year though, my aunt has decided it's just too much for her anymore, so I volunteered. I don't know whether it will actually happen or not, but just in case, I think I need to start preparing NOW!!! There are usually between 50-60 people. My house is not huge, but I do have a large basement. However, it is FULL of stuff! We moved here about 2 1/2 years ago, and I never really organized the basement. All the kids toys that they've outgrown, all my old homeschool stuff, and who knows what else is down there! So, my goal is to spend about an hour a day at least, decluttering. My kids go back to school in 2 weeks, so hopefully I will be able to get a lot done then. The meal will be a pot luck, so all I have to do is the turkey & potatoes. But I do want to have a lot of cookies and snack foods too. I also want to buy some things to furnish my basement, couches, chairs, maybe a fooseball table. . . So I am going to look at garage sales for those. The countdown begins! . . . .
