The snow has officially fallen here in Lethbridge, putting me in the decorating mood! But, before we dive into the holiday cheer and start decking those halls, let’s chat about something that’ll make your life SO much easier when January rolls around: decluttering your decorations.
Here’s the deal — we all have those decorations we’ve been holding onto “just in case” or out of pure guilt (looking at you, tempered glass ornaments with the colour flaking off that someone got from a garage sale in 1998!). But if you didn’t love it last year and it’s not making the cut this year, it’s time to let it go.
Why declutter now?
🎄 Your future self will thank you
Trust us, when January hits and it’s time to take everything down, you’ll be so glad there’s less stuff to pack away. It’s like giving your future self a little gift. 🎁
🎄 Room for the good stuff
Keeping only the things you love means your home will look and feel more intentional. Whether it’s heirloom ornaments or that new wreath you couldn’t resist, the things you actually adore deserve the spotlight.
🎄 Spread some holiday cheer
Why let perfectly good decorations collect dust when someone else could love them? Donate those extras to a thrift store or pass them along to a friend who’s just starting out. Your “meh” could be someone else’s “yaasss!”
How to start?
✅ When you unpack your decorations, ask yourself: Am I actually going to use this? Be honest!
✅ Keep a box handy for items you’re ready to part with and don’t let them sneak back into storage.
✅ And hey, don’t forget the rule: if it doesn’t make you smile, it’s gotta go.
