5 Ways to Prepare for (next) Christmas Right Now!

Christmas 2020 is only two days from now, and you probably haven’t even begun to think about next Christmas. Did you know there are a few things you can do right now to plan for next Christmas?

1. Take stock of what you used…and what you didn’t

I have a few tried and true things that I love and use year after year for Christmas decorating. I also have a box of things each year that I don’t use. This year, I’m letting go of those items so they can bless someone else. I’m also repurposing anything I can use in a different way.

2. Make a note of what you need for next year

Something will always break and a strand of lights will always go out. You also may come up with new decorating ideas for next year that you want to try. Make a list of what you need for next year right now.

3. Hit up After Christmas sales

Get decor at a discounted rate, buy gifts to hold onto for next year, or whatever you want to do. We bought a whole new Christmas tree last year for 50% off. We would have never bought it at the retail price. Go check out the after Christmas sales. You may find nothing but you may also find a great deal on something you love.

4. Plan new Christmas traditions

Is there something you have always wanted to do but you never have? Maybe you want to host a cookie decorating party with family, or go skiing for New Years Day. It’s never too early to start thinking about how you can make it happen.

5. Plan a loose Christmas list

Maybe there is something your child or spouse really loves- start planning a loose Christmas shopping list for next year, and you can help plan what you want to buy, which will also help you budget for it as well.
