2. Holiday décor

It’s time to get rid of the giant inflatable pumpkin that you bought for your front yard display if it hasn’t been added for the third Halloween in a row. Before getting ready to put up your Christmas tree, take out all of your holiday décor and place it on the floor, a table, or a mat. Throw away anything damaged and give away what you no longer need to a thrift shop.

By decluttering for the winter holidays, you will have the option to give all the unwanted decorations to friends or family members as gifts or donate them to those in need.

Fewer decorations means that once the holidays are over it will be easier to gather everything and store them in the box until next season!
