A holiday decorations inventory is a very important process to keep the holidays stress-free. Have you ever had a year when a string of lights will not work or your pre-lit tree will not light up? Most stores already have decorations displayed and even discounted. Also, most decorations are picked over a month before the holiday and they are already putting out decorations for the next holiday.
Questions to consider during this process:
Do I have lights for the tree (real or artificial)? Also, consider lights for the outside?
Does my pre-lit tree work?
Should I keep the same theme or color for my decorations?
Do I need additional decorations for parties?
Do I have enough batteries or the right kind of batteries for certain decorations?
Did I buy decorations on clearence last year? Do I know where they are?
Are any of the current decorations worn or faded?
Are there any decorations to discard, donate, or take to consignment?
The next step is to make a list to have ready when you are shopping. The list is also helpful as you find items you need on sale.
I encourage you to schedule a time for this process to help make your holiday stress-free.
