Every year do you vow to downsize your Christmas decorations? To keep things simple and stress free.
Do you vow to be more organized?
Do you vow to start early, to avoid the rush?
You are not alone.
Please take a moment to watch this short video on easy Christmas Decorating Ideas.
I think you will agree that these tips will help you to have a stress-free AND merry Holiday Season.
Did you decide on your limit?
That is the first thing you need to do. How many boxes are right for you and your storage capacity?
BOX 1
The contents of this box is for all of your Christmas cards, wrap, ribbons, gift bags and spare Christmas light bulbs.
Now if you are really downsizing, you may have given up the gift giving trend. If you have, you no longer need to store gift wrap, ribbons or gift bags. Instead of gifts you might choose to do a memory making outing. For example, going to a live play, baking cookies together or going out looking at all the Christmas lights followed by a gourmet dinner.
Many people have also given up the tradition of sending Christmas cards. Instead they take the money saved from buying cards and postage and donate it to a charity of their choice. If you are like me and still like to mail cards you might want to shop right after Christmas to get your cards for the following year. You cannot beat the sales!
BOX 2
This box contains all of your decorations. Do you have a collection? When are too many Santa’s too many?
Fortunately I have a small area for my collection of Santa’s. Once I run out of room I am at my limit. No more Santa decorations for me unless I am willing to part with some of the older ones or least favorite ones.
BOX 3
The contents of this box contains all of your holiday linens such as placemats, table cloths, napkins, seasonal napkin rings, and any Christmas music CD’s.
Now I am sure you are wondering about a tree.
