Between Christmas and New Year's Eve, most of us are trying to tidy up our homes and possibly take down the Christmas tree.
If the big box the artificial tree came in takes up a lot of space or is awkward to lug into the attic if that's where you must store it until next Christmas, there is a better way.
This tree and/or wreath storage container is flexible, waterproof, insect proof, and has a zipper closure.
Best of all, it's reduced from $18.99 to 9.99 and as I write this it also has a 10% off coupon you can claim.
If you're like me and have limited storage space, you need to check out the next post-Christmas bargain, the Christmas Wrapping Paper Storage Bag.
It's clear heavy vinyl with a handle mounted to the top and horizontally so you can hang it either way.
At $9.99, you can get one for Christmas and one for other special days in the year. It will make storing rolls of wrapping paper easy and convenient.
Christmas Greeting Cards—stock up now! I still send printed Christmas cards. Why? It's not just a habit. It's because printed cards are forever and digital cards as pretty as they may be are ephemeral. When you close the website, they're gone.
So I ordered some for next year today. I chose the collection shown at left, but there are many themes and price points to chose from.
I've saved the Christmas cards and other special occasion cards we've received over the years in special decorative boxes. I bring out the Christmas box, and we look through it during the holidays.
There's something special about stroking a fingertip over the message my mom wrote inside the card. I recall what beautiful handwriting she had. That box of cards is a conversation starter for grandchildren who were young when she passed. I treasure the cards and letters written by those I loved and lost.
Letters and cards are like photographs in an alburm. They're a way of keeping the memory alive of our loved ones who are no longer with us.
TAKEAWAY TRUTH
By the way, today is also a good day to get some blackeye peas for New Year's. Better hurry or they'll all be gone.
