Christmas is a time when a lot of things and people are busy: purchasing food for meals, hanging decorations, gathering gifts… By getting rid of the extra, you can simplify your life and make more room for them.
If we already experience more stress from disorder or an accumulation of things than we can handle daily, Christmas might exacerbate this sensation owing to an overabundance of gifts, decorations, materials for special occasion dinners, and visiting relatives carrying bags. Organize your home and discard anything unnecessary first!
OUTDATED OR WORN CHRISTMAS DECOR
Each Christmas, the decorations are placed in a box and hidden from view. Because of this, it is simple for us to end up gathering difficult decorative combinations, broken lights, or unsightly items that we bought last-minutely to get by. Purge ruthlessly and organize your new purchases for this year.
UGLY OR SHABBY TABLECLOTHS
Nothing looks worse than a Christmas table with a shabby-looking tablecloth. Even if it has seen a lot of use and may be old, it is preferable to throw it away and replace it with something else that won’t ruin the overall design of your Christmas table.
MALFUNCTIONING CHRISTMAS LIGHTS
Check that all the decorations are in good shape and that the lights function properly before erecting the Christmas tree and decorating the house. If you wait until after you’ve already put them on the tree and it turns out they don’t go, you’ll have to do it twice. Replace the batteries in any devices that require them, then connect the others to make sure they all turn on properly.
OPEN PERFUMES YOU DO NOT WEAR
If you have numerous open perfumes that you don’t use, it’s advisable to throw them away, whether it’s because you don’t like the way it smells or you never remember to use them. Also keep in mind that an open perfume oxidizes with time, changing in fragrance, color, and texture.
JUMPERS FOR CHRISTMAS IN THE OLD STYLE
If you participated in “Ugly Christmas Sweaters Day” last year, also known as “the day of the ugly Christmas sweater,” you undoubtedly have an offending sweater that makes you uncomfortable whenever you enter the wardrobe. Buy yourself an ugly Christmas sweater for just one day, but don’t do it again.
