Hello World! Welcome Friends! Even though the holiday season isn’t here just yet, usually, the summer months mean that stores are slowly getting out some of their seasonal decor. Sometimes, this is as early as July, but you can usually count on no later than September when holiday seasonal decor gets on the shelves and slowly pops back up on e-commerce websites, too.
Now, who doesn’t want to transform their home into a winter wonderland? But even though winter is coming, and it’s still not quite here either, it’s important to go ahead and get prepared earlier.
Sure, there are the cozy gatherings, the laughs, the sparkling lights, and all that cheer, but let’s face it: the holiday season can also bring a fair share of stress and chaos. Between shopping for gifts, attending countless parties, and cooking up a storm, who has time to think about decking the halls?
So this doesn’t mean decorating your home now; wait until at least Thanksgiving! But instead, this is about getting prepared a little ahead of time. So, here’s what you need to know!
Avoid the Last-Minute Rush
We all know the feeling. It’s mid-December, and you realize you haven’t hung a single strand of lights or even thought about your holiday menu. Most folks try to do this on the last weekend of November or the first weekend of December. It takes a lot of time, and putting that Christmas tree together and taking the time to go Black Friday shopping also takes time and energy. People love seeing lights and decor outside of homes!
So, if you lack the time, energy, or just don’t feel safe (understandable so) then why not look into professional Christmas light installation? If you book a slot in advance, you can guarantee they’ll be there when the day comes, besides it’s one less thing to worry about when the holiday madness hits.
Secure the Best Picks
So if you buy a real tree annually, this one is for you. So, have you ever tried to find the perfect Christmas tree a week before Christmas? It’s like hunting for a needle in a haystack. Many tree farms now let you reserve your tree early, ensuring you get the pick of the lot.
This means you can snag that perfect, bushy pine before the crowds descend, and you won’t be stuck with a sad, sparse twig that Charlie Brown would be proud of.
DIY Delights at Your Own Pace
For all you crafty souls out there wanting to unleash your inner Martha Stewart,well, you have to keep in mind that it takes a lot of time, right? Yes, by all means DIYing your seasonal decor can be a joy… if you’re not doing it under the gun.
Basically, starting your projects early means you can take your time and truly enjoy the process. Whether it’s homemade ornaments, a stunning wreath, or a personalized advent calendar, crafting in advance lets you put your heart into every piece without the holiday crunch time.
Spread Out the Cost
Let’s not forget the financial aspect. The holiday season can be a heavy hit on the wallet, especially if you’re buying everything at once. By spreading out your purchases over a few months, you can budget better and avoid that January financial hangover. Plus, catching sales and discounts on decor items in the off-season can save you a bundle.
