Simple Post Holiday Organizing Tips
by Maria Gracia
Keeping everything organized 'after' the holiday season, will ensure
that next year's holiday is merrier than ever. Here are 5 simple ideas.
- HAVE AN UN-DECORATING PARTY. Set a date to undecorate. Get
family and friends involved, and you'll get it all done in no time!
Make it a party. After everything is stored away and cleaned up,
enjoy food, music and conversation with everyone who helped.
- UN-TRIM THE TREE. Don't remove lights and ornaments from
the tree before developing an organized system. Wrap strings of
holiday lights around cardboard so they're not in a tangled mess
next December. Store ornaments in an ornament container with divided
sections, or simply in a large, sturdy, plastic container. Be sure
to wrap fragile ornaments in bubble wrap.
- STORE SMART. Do your best to keep all of your holiday
decorations in one or two containers. You won't need these things
until next year, so store them in an out-of-the-way place. I have an
area in my home for my year-round holiday decorations. All the
Christmas decorations are in one container, and all of the other
holiday decorations (Easter, Halloween, etc) are stored in another
container.
- UPDATE YOUR HOLIDAY CARD LIST. The very best time to update
your holiday card list for next year, is at the end of this year's
holiday season. Add, modify or delete as needed, and your list will
be updated and ready to use in December. P.S. If you missed sending
a holiday card to someone this year, send him/her a New Year's card
instead!
- KEEP A HOLIDAY JOURNAL. A holiday journal is a wonderful
place to keep track of things you'd like to remember from year to
year. Perhaps you'd like to keep track of things such as what gifts
were given/received, favorite holiday recipes, meals your family
especially enjoyed, etc. A journal will help you keep track of
everything.
