Something familiar? here I am, staring at a mountain of Christmas decorations sometimes determined to move sometimes I feel like I am indecisive. It's that time of year again – the bittersweet moment when the magic of the holidays fades and reality sets in. I'm feeling a bit melancholic, I must admit. It's not just the end of the festive mood, but the dreaded task of packing away all these decorations.
Makes me wonder now... Where on earth did I put everything last year? My small place seems to shrink even further when it's time to store holiday paraphernalia :] Should I just leave everything up year-round? weh Imagine waking up to a twinkling Christmas tree every single day. I know some people do but what about the dust collected by the decors that would mean another stress tidying and dusting off. Hmmmm So, I'm wrestling with boxes, cursing the lack of storage space. That is my situation at the moment.
Lessons Learned:
Measure Twice, Buy Once: Next year, I'm going to be ruthless. No more impulse purchases of decorations I don't actually need or have space for.
I'm considering a minimalist approach to holiday decorating. Less is more, right?
Label Everything: This year, I'm labeling every single box with its contents. No more guessing games next year
I think I would be able to do these three things I listed above. The shorter the list the better chances I have accomplishing them.
