3 Tips for Starting Your Christmas Preparation Now to Save Time and Stress Later

Preparation and planning are my thing! My heart is happy when I can organize and plan my life. Nowadays with young kids, planning and organization doesn’t always go the way I want it to. The unpredictability of children is ever present. One thing we as moms can do with Christmas a little over a week away, is to begin preparing for next Christmas! Yes, I said it. Let’s prepare for next Christmas. 

After Christmas Organization

By now all of your decorations are up in your house, the tree is nicely decorated and all of your gift wrapping accessories are getting dusted off. So let’s make the after Christmas clean up a bit easier. We frugal moms are always looking for a good sale for the things we need, right now most stores (in-store and online) are offering sales on various items. Here are a few of my favorite items that help me manage my Christmas decor and accessories. 

• Wreath Storage

• Ornament Storage

• Christmas Tree Storage

• Gift Wrap Storage and Organizer

• Christmas Lights Storage

• Miscellaneous Christmas Decor Storage

After Christmas Sales

If you’re looking for a way to spend the day after Christmas, walk into your favorite store and shop! After Christmas sales are gold! All of the Christmas items will be on sale from decor, wrapping paper and even winter clothing. Keep an eye on the decor items you want for next year and purchase them the day after Christmas. 

Birthdays

We all know that person in our life whose birthday is in January or February. Buy the gifts while items are on sale now. Those birthdays will sneak up on you!

Encouragement 

Let's get our lives organized and end this Christmas season prepped and ready to move into the new year! As you organize and prepare, turn on some good music, pour your coffee or hot chocolate and remember YOU GOT THIS!
