Holiday decorations are an important part of the season. They help to get us all in the holiday spirit and bring a touch of fun into our homes. While each family has their own traditions for how and when they will decorate, we’d like to offer some suggestions on how to prepare for the decorating process in an organized manner.
Before you decorate:
- Remove your holiday decorations from storage and review the contents. If anyth
ing is broken or needs repair set the items aside and take appropriate action. Then determine if there are gaps in your collection that need to be filled or if there is anything special you’d like to add this year. Take care of all decoration shopping before you start the actual decorating process. - Decide if you have a particular theme or type of decoration that you’d like to highlight this year.
- Check your Christmas lights to ensure they are working properly.
- Double-check that you know the location of miscellaneous, but important items, such as the Christmas tree stand or stockings.
If you are limited on time, there are several local options for enlisting help for your decorating needs:
