As we begin to decorate for the Christmas season, it's a good time to donate any unwanted items in your decoration boxes. I stopped in at Goodwill last week and they had a lot of Christmas items on display. If you can donate toward the beginning of the season, things will sell.
I am a big fan of natural greens in my decorating. This fall, though my bushes needed trimming, I purposefully waited to trim until this time because I want to use the greens to decorate. The nice thing about real greens is you throw them away when they dry out and don't have to store anything! One year I was driving through the bank drive-thru and noticed nice boxwoods that really needed a haircut. In my enthusiasm, I actually asked the bank teller if I could come back and trim them to keep the greens for my decorating. She looked at me strangely and told me they have a service that does that. I wanted to retort that they were a little behind schedule as the bushes looked terrible, but refrained, figuring she was about done with me.
See what you can simplify in the decorating area this holiday season!
