Anyone got any tips on how to keep in control of ones house and life during the holidays with a larer family??

The house is covered in toys and it needs a a really good clean - but being in the house with the 3 DC's all day is too stressful and chaotic - so we keep going out and leaving everything - but its getting worse ! Help!

Sorry - 'larger'

All pitch in and do it a room at a time. Bribe with sweets if necessary.

Just do the minimum until the holidays are over.
