Isn’t it amazing how Christmas decor can take over every nook and cranny of your home?
I tend to spread my Christmas cheer over multiple rooms. I have some towels and soaps in the bathrooms, some snowman/log cabin dishes in the dining room, some winter-themed goblets in the kitchen, and table runners in the living room. Every year, I get everything packed up and put away on the highest shelf of the garage, only to discover that one of the Wise Men made a run for it and has been hiding out behind a throw pillow on the couch.
So today, go through every room and gather your Christmas wares. Here are some places you may want to check:
- The Living Room
- Guest Bathroom
- Kitchen (including cabinets)
- Dining Room
- Bedrooms (for any stealth wrapping that may have taken place,)
- Laundry Room
And here is a list of things with a Christmas theme to be on the look out for:
- Candles
- Soaps
- Tablecloths/table runners
- Mugs
- Dishes
- Paper Products
- Ornaments
- Kitchen towels
- Napkins
- Christmas Cards
- Wrapping Supplies
- Stray decor
Get it all into one place – ours is hanging out on the kitchen table. Make some decisions about what stays, and what gets repurpose or recycled.
We don’t take our Christmas stuff down until at least Little Christmas, generally around the second weekend in January. The snowman collection stays up until early March, along with the sled and mitten decorations. We have snow on the east coast, so it’s nice to look at these reminders of Christmas.
You mean I should think about getting rid of some of my decor? Say it ain’t so!
I do have to be on the look out for mugs….they do end up in the deepest, darkest recesses of the cupboard, don’t they? LOL
