Lisa,
Thanks for sharing an amazing idea. When we realize that we have gathered too many holiday decorations how great to share them with others who don’t. Given the challenging economy I imagine there are families, young and old, who may find themselves a bit short on options this season. If you know of someone who is struggling this year spend a few dollars on a small re-usable tree (or do you already have an extra?)….wrap it with lights and decorations thendeliver a completed table- top tree. Now that’s A Real Christmas moment.
Thanks for sharing and keep us posted on your holiday decorating progress.

Christine,
It is hard to think about Christmas decorating this early, isn’t it? I’m glad our simple steps can help move you along. Keep us posted on your progress!

I thoroughly enjoyed your thoughts and ideas about how to simplify, manage the time I have to put into the decoration process and yet make our home personal. I have collected more than my fare share of decorations over the years and have found one mistake I have made in the past was to think they all need to be displayed. Truth is, they can stay in the boxes until next year or even be given away, what a concept!!!!
Thanks for your thoughts and make great memories with your family and friends!

I’m not in the mood yet to start Christmas decorating but this is such a practical way of getting started. I love making lists. First on my list will be to turn on the Christmas carols. that always warms me up. Thanks for reminding me how easy it is to get organized. Merry Christmas, Christine.
