About this template
Whether it is Chinese New Year, Christmas, Hari Raya or Deepavali, the weeks before follow the same shape: clean, buy, cook, visit. This project spaces them out so the last week is not all of them at once.
Tips from the template
- Set the festival date on the "The day" task.
- Shop for gifts three weeks out. Three days out the shops have nothing left.
- Set the budget first and keep it in the description.
