Don’t wait until the last minute to check out your holiday decorations. The earlier you know what you need to purchase this year, the better. Stores in your area might already have holiday decor for sale.
“This is exactly the right time to check, edit, and organize your holiday bins. Test the lights, review your decorations, and take stock of your entertaining items. Doing so not only saves you from rebuying what you already own, but also shows you where you may want to replace, upgrade, or add something new,” Jones says.
