Martha Stewart, the renowned founder of Martha Stewart Living, is sharing her essential keys to success as the holiday season approaches. In an exclusive interview, she emphasizes the importance of organization for anyone planning a celebration in the upcoming months.
Martha advises those preparing for festivities to begin their preparations early. “Be careful about being organized for your holiday entertaining,” she told E! News. “If you’re going to have a party, start working on it now—making your list, figuring out when and where things can be made or purchased.”
She highlights the significance of having a comprehensive approach, stating, “Do a master plan. Master planning has become very important.” This approach can help ensure that everything runs smoothly during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.
With Thanksgiving on the horizon, Martha specifically recommends that aspiring hosts pay attention to the main attraction of the dinner table: the turkey. “I would order my turkey now because it’s not too early,” she noted. “If you have a good butcher, order your fresh-filled heritage bird now. They’re going to sell out this Thanksgiving, and it’s so unbelievably difficult to get what you want at the last minute. You can’t do it.”
Stewart’s engaging tips serve as a timely reminder that preparation can lead to a more enjoyable and less stressful holiday experience. By planning ahead and being organized, hosts can focus on what truly matters: celebrating with family and friends.
