After Christmas Ideas and Tips for the New Year
I don’t know about you, but on New Year’s Day? All of my Christmas decor comes down and gets put away until next year.
There’s a lot too, so organizing it all now will make things easier for me when I decorate for next year.
And as I remove it, I like to declutter so I can start with a fresh space while transitioning to my winter decor.
Last year, we had just moved in so I didn’t focus too much on how my home looked for winter as we were really busy renovating the dining room, sunroom, front entry hall, and family room.
But this year?
I’m all about cozying things up when the Christmas decor comes down until it’s time for spring flowers.
