HAVE A SPARE TABLECLOTH AND SET OF NAPKINS ON HAND SO YOU DON’T NEED TO WASH AND DRY THE SAME SET READY FOR BOXING DAY

1 CLEAR THE TABLE

Once everyone has finished eating and retired to the living room, grab a couple of bin bags and begin clearing the table of used napkins, wrapping paper, and crackers. Separate them into bags for paper and cardboard recycling, and one for the bin. Next, take all cutlery, tableware, and glasses back to the kitchen and tidy away any candles or decorations, leaving your tablecloth clear of everything other than crumbs.
