December 1st! Did someone hear "Ready, Set, GO!"
this month seems like it gets busier and more hectic every year and this year has more "challenges and joy steelers" than usual, however with Determination, planning and a little creativity this season can be just as enjoyable and memorable regardless of the budget, it can still have the special things, or new things that are special.
Three simple things can make decorating enjoyable and easy for everyone to keep things in order.
1) as you are beginning to decorate, get an empty box or laundry
baskets work great! to place the "everyday" items that you are moving to
make room for the Christmas or Holiday decorations.
2) Unpack the decorations, one box at a time... (if you haven't already made lists of what is contained in the box and which compartment it goes in (if they need a special placement) make it NOW, it will make repacking when you undecorate much faster and easier for whomever does it. Tape the list inside the lid or on a flap, also label the outside of the box (Tree decorations- Top or whatever is applicable). This set also helps when you take your decorations to another location! :)
3.) place the everyday items in the box for the decorations you just replace them with. This accomplishes two things... keeps the items safe and in a place that will not get in the way during the holidays, the boxes were full of the decorations and you have to store them somewhere, so 2 for 1 effort. Also when you undecorate you get the boxes out and you have all the stuff to put in place with one motion. Efficient use of space & time!
