He barely did. In fact, his army was ready to revolt against him. Times were hard and tough. Luckily Washington was an effective leader and general. Not the exact historical way of putting it, but it's accurate enough to be correct on a test. Sorry, I haven't read up on Valley Forge in awhile. I can tell you no battle (or at least any of significance) happened here.

What was the conclusion at Valley Forge?
It wasn't all war. Many went home to take care of the family farm. There were so many they were called "sunshine patriots". The colonies were 95% farmers. In Valley Forge there is a fable about the men starving, not having shoes, and in the cold. This is not true. Federal park historians have found that they were well fed, clothed, and in warm huts. The officer wives joined their husbands. Washington in his letters to Congress couldn't admit this because he knew they would cut funds. So, he spun a story. The 10,000 man army was supplied each month with a million pounds of flour, a million pounds of meat and fish. Each man was allotted more than 3 pounds of flour, meat, and fish per day. The men were able to attack Trenton on Christmas Eve .

The Patriots tried to recapture Philadelphia by attacking and fighting a battle at Germantown October 8, 1777, but lost again. The British holed up in a large home made of stone, belonging to the Chief Justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, Benjamin Chew, known as the Chew House, which still stands in Germantown, and the Patriots were not able to drive them out. After these battles Washington's army went into winter quarters at Valley Forge, west of Philadelphia.

General George Washington. Valley Forge was not a battle. It is the name of the place in Pennsylvania where the Continental Army made camp during the winter of 1777-78. The conditions were terrible. The men were without adequate clothing, shelter or food. Yet, instead of falling apart, the army held together as the soldiers endured the privations. In the spring, when supplies were able to reach the encampent, the army received new training under Baron Von Stueben. After this terrible experience the Continetal Army always fought well in the remainder of the war.
Washington was able to use the time spent at Valley Forge to?
To train and drill his army and turn the men into regular soldiers. The way an army fights is tactics, and the tactics of the day were linear - the men lined up and faced the enemy line across the battlefield. All had muskets, which werent very accurate, and they would blaze away for a while and then one side or the other would charge at the enemy and the day would be decided with the bayonet. Keeping the line intact was complicated and the commands had to be obeyed promptly or the line would break. Going from column, as when marching along a road, into line when the enemy was encountered, was a complicated business which had to be done quickly. Washington's men knew little of these things before Valley Forge, meaning they were never a match for the British regular soldiers in a stand-up fight. After Valley Forge, in the Battle of Monmouth Courthouse, the British at first did not believe they were seeing Washington's army saying "Those are Regulars, by God!".
How long did it take George Washington to plan the attack of Christmas day?
My impression after reading accounts not long at all. It seems like he decided on it and did it. By-the-way the men were NOT starving at Valley Forge. Park service historians have been able to prove each man had 3 pounds of flour a day and 3 pounds of meat or fish a day.
