"  Christmas is a couple of days away and tomorrow you&amp;#039;ll probably be spending most of your time cooking and setting the table. However, allow yourself some time for last minute spruce-ups before the guests arrive. Here&amp;#039;s what you can do in minutes. Clean the bathroom that guests will be using. Wipe down the sink and clean the toilet. Then quickly go over the mirror. Rid the vanity top of clutter. If possible, make this room off limits to your children. If not, put out fresh towels and pick up stray items on Christmas morning. Straighten up your entry foyer, inside and out to make it welcoming. Sweep leaves and cobwebs from your doorsteps, and make sure the front lights are working. Inside remove the family coats to make room for your guests&amp;#039; winter coats. Stash away any mail. Sit at the dining room table and look up to check the chandelier. Be sure to have the lights on as that&amp;#039;s when the dust and webs really show. If have a long handled duster, use it to wipe away hanging dust bunnies. If you have an extra minute, use a microfiber cloth to dust around the crystals. After dinner, several guests will go straight to the couch and plop down to watch the big game. Make sure the television and entertainment center are dusted and shake any debris from the couch cushions onto the floor. Then pick up the dirt when you make your final vacuum run.
