- Getting ready for the start of winter. ❄️ 🌨️ ⛄ 🧣
December 21st starts the first day of winter in the northern hemisphere. So, if you don’t have your cold-weather gear ready yet, it’s time to get it out of storage. Usually, here in the Midwest, we have our first snow in December (although some places had snow as early as Halloween this year!). And, you’re probably switching to hot cocoa and warm blankets!

There are many holidays that happen in December and many people celebrate with family and friends this month. Even if your business doesn’t post about holidays, it’s important to share any changes in open hours or time that your office is closed so that people know to expect delays.
