Make holiday decorating
easier this year
It doesn’t feel like the holiday season until homes, stores and town centers are decorated in lights and tinsel. When entire neighborhoods are enhanced by bows
and animated figurines, the celebratory tone is set. These decorations can trigger happy feelings associated with holiday gatherings.
Some people find holiday decorating enjoy- able, and eagerly anticipate taking out storage containers and sorting through all of the family’s memory-laden trinkets, while others are less enthusiastic about readying their homes for the season.

This way, you won’t become discouraged or tired by the task before the real decorating has even begun.
▶ Put the tree up first. The Christmas tree is the a focal point of holiday decorations, so set up the tree and decorate it before you get started on decorating the rest of the house.
