After all the time and effort it took to put up the Christmas decorations, it seems to take so much less time to put them away. Maybe we are just in a much bigger hurry to get everything back to normal, since dust does not resist anything, not even a tree or wreaths.
In starting the Christmas put away, this is a good time to look at what got left in the boxes. In the excitement to get the decorations put up we often forget about what is left over.You can check for damaged items and make a list of what needs to be replaced or something you would like to add to your collection. I saw some really cute ideas on Pinterest but there was not time before Christmas to make them. One helpful suggestion, from Pinterest, was to take pictures of your mantles, tables and other decorated areas so you could remember how it all went together.
Even though almost all the stores have had decorations on sale since August, I try to wait to get a few things in the after Christmas mark downs. Especially since the sales percentage goes up to 66%-75% off. I might as well be as thrifty as possible. A lot of people are tired of looking at all the Christmas stuff right now but next year you won't regret the few minutes you spend to be thrifty now.
I hope you had a Merry Christmas and are resolved to have a Thrifty New Year!
