You are such a great help and I have made a lot of changes because of your fabulous ideas! I always leave my Christmas decor out until January 5th. I decorate early — beginning of November — so that we can enjoy Christmas a little longer as this is our very favorite time of the year! And, I love to decorate.
I pray that you and Bobby will have a wonderful 2024! Yvonne, you are such a blessing and how I thank God for you! I am so happy that I subscribed to your post years ago!

I, too, use my phone to take pics and store and label bins too. I don’t do the same theme every year so the pics help me – I also do that for Easter and Thanksgiving. I post decor in instagram so I have a record there too. Love your blog and emails. Happy New Year!

I think it would be best if you looked that up on Google. You might even like to see a YouTube video.

I have a question. You said make a photo file for your Christmas pictures on your iPhone. Can you please tell me how to make a photo file and put photos in it or send me to a link that shows how to do it?
Thanks again, Melinda

I recently reorganized all of our files. My hubs is always looking for certain papers, so I broke things down, different hanging and individual folders, he no longer has chaos as an excuse to look for something!

I put some things together in “Christmas Lite” boxes. If we’re spending the bulk of the season not at home, it’s still festive before we leave but not overwhelming to pack up in January. I might decorate a few surfaces but not bring out the dishes, coffee cups, linens, etc. This year I decorated surfaces with white pottery and faux greens
still seasonal but not overly Christmas. As my daughter develops her own Christmas traditions, I won’t be decorating in the style of “Pier One coughed up all their seasonal clearance sales for the last 20 years!” Much more subdued these last years!

This year I kept things simpler. In preparation for our hopeful downsized move in 2024 I reorganized everything earlier this year. New container idea. My sons are not married and no grandkids yet. Decided to create a “Whimsical Container”that holds all our fun decorations related to younger family members. Not saying I won’t pull some things out here and there but at least it all will be in one place when the time comes to bring the joy of childhood excitement to our holidays. Thanks for all your great posts. Appreciate all the work you do.

Happy New YearđŸ„‚!
