Laura’s 10 easy steps for Christmas trip packing
1. Wash all of the clothes you own.
2. Start selecting outfits for the trip ahead.
3. Pick accessories that match each outfit.
4. Begin considering over-analyzing all of the possible activities that may await you, taking into consideration the unlikely chance that you’ll go swimming in Minnesota in December, need a costume, have to transition an outfit from day to night, be too cold, be too hot, be too casual, be too formal, or have absolutely nothing to wear to a specific event.
5. Add more outfits to the suitcase.
6. Add more necklaces, mittens, shoes, earrings, tights, belts, headbands, scarves, bracelets, gloves and pajamas to the suitcase.
7. Realize you have grossly overpacked.
8. Remove one pair of socks from the suitcase.
9. Hold the suitcase in mid-air and balance precariously on the bathroom scale to check the bag’s weight.
10. Remove one more pair of socks from the suitcase and say a little prayer.
