Want to be ahead of the game for next Christmas? Getting ready for the holiday season is a year-round effort that can make all the difference in creating a memorable and stress-free Christmas.
DEBRIEF AFTER THE HOLIDAYS: Once the Christmas festivities are over, take the time to reflect and create a list of what worked well and what didn’t.
1
BE SMART WHEN PACKING AND ORGANIZING: When packing up your Christmas decorations, store similar items together and clearly label storage bins and boxes.
2
TOSS, DONATE, UPCYCLE: As you pack up your decorations this year, don’t keep hanging onto those items that you haven’t used in over a year or that look tired and worn.
3
CHOOSE A CHRISTMAS THEME: Choosing a Christmas theme now can help you find great deals on ornaments, wreaths, gift wrap, ribbons, and more.
4
MAKE A MASTER PREPARATION CHECKLIST: Create a list that covers everything you need to organize and plan next year's Christmas season.
5
COLLECT BOXES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR: Be prepared for next Christmas with boxes in the size and shape you need, right when you need them.
6
WRAP YOUR GIFTS AS YOU BUY THEM: Stock up on your gift-wrapping supplies and wrap each gift as you purchase it throughout the year.
7
GET DEALS ON CHRISTMAS DECOR AND GIFTS: Retailers need to offload their Christmas inventories as quickly as possible so stock up on winter decorations, Christmas cards, and gift-wrapping supplies
8
WORK ON CHRISTMAS DIY PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR: If you’ve come across an inspiring holiday project that you’d like to create for Christmas next year, why wait? Do it now.
