 Hey everyone, welcome back to my channel. So I decided the day after Christmas to take down all of my Christmas decor. We are actually going to Pennsylvania. We live in North Carolina if you're new here and we are going to Pennsylvania over New Year's and possibly staying there for a little bit. So I didn't want to come home to all of the Christmas stuff still out. So I decided to just take the plunge and take everything down, put it in my tubs. I do store most all of it in our attic and yeah just kept keeping everything organized and labeled. I decided to kind of take my time doing this. I just enjoyed taking it all down and packing it up for next year and starting with a cleaning slate. I actually did a lot of the cleaning after I did all of this later that night and also the next morning. That is one thing that I'm starting to learn how to do is pace myself a little bit more and just not tackle too much at once. I'm a person that tends to tackle too much and I'm just learning that sometimes it's better to just do a little bit and sit down, be with your kids and then do a little more later. It doesn't all have to be done right at once. Do you guys use command strips for your stockings? I just feel like they're so convenient and really inexpensive. I know that there's a lot of weighted hooks out there that are really cute but when it's all done and said command hooks do the job. I wanted to mention that I got my tree from King of Christmas and I do have a discount code for them. I believe they may be running some sales here after Christmas. I highly highly recommend this brand. If you guys can see how full this tree is, it is gorgeous. Even my husband loved it. It was so easy to put up and it didn't have any big gaps in it or spaces missing anything so it made it look so fluffy. The other thing that is really nice about this one is it is pre-lit. I will leave what the exact name of this one is in the description box because I know I've gotten questions about it and you might be able to snag it for a great price stacking my percentage off with the sales. I'm sure a lot of you are thinking about New Year's and I would love to hear some of your big goals for your home in the New Year. Leave that in the description box. The thing that I generally do in the New Year is decluttering and just going through my house. I would say I probably do that about every six months and it really helps to keep your home in order to just go through things you know take inventory of the things you have, things that you haven't been using in the last six months and just get rid of stuff. So I know that's going to be high on my agenda and especially when you receive new things for Christmas or things that you can replace old things with. It really helps to get things cleared out. Total side note but don't take your flocked Christmas tree down with a sherpa on. As you can see I got little pieces of the flocking from the tree all over my sherpa I was wearing and this sherpa is from Amazon. I'll leave a link below because it is so comfy and cozy. I did end up sizing up just to give it a little bit more of an oversized feel but it also comes in a couple colors and it's definitely one that I grabbed pretty quick out of my closet. So for some reason these lights totally died like a week or so ago and so I am gonna have to get new ones for next year for these garlands. They weren't actually in the garland I did add them to the garland so I think they'll be pretty easy to just wind some new ones in but I don't know why sometimes the whole entire strip blows but this one did and another thing I wanted to add is you're seeing me take all of this stuff down but I do have a lot of decor that I'm gonna be putting back up. I have a lot of like fake plants and greenery and things like that but I wanted to get all of this taken down and get things kind of cleaned before I went ahead and put a lot of my decor back up. So you guys will probably see a decorate with me and just watch me put a lot of my things back that I had before I put Christmas decor up. If you haven't taken your Christmas decor down I hope this got you in the mood to do it and just kind of get a fresh start for the new year.
