The Halloween costumes are hung in the closet and the candy is either gone or going stale. It seems that every year TV and retail are rushing the Christmas season. When I was growing up, Christmas decorating NEVER began until well after Thanksgiving. The kids were trick or treating two days ago and people are erecting their Christmas trees already.
In order to begin decorating, you will need to stow away some of the household décor items that normally adorn your mantle and tabletops. Take a few moments to do a really thorough job of cleaning these items. For glass, porcelain etc. you might even want to run them through the dishwasher. This way they will be totally clean and ready to redistribute after the first of the year.
Wash the windows (or better yet, hire someone to do that for you) so when you put candles on the window sills, they will glisten on the outside. Put a tree skirt under your tree, for looks as well as to catch any falling pine needles. Wash the outside of your front door so your wreath will show up better. After all, it is the first impression of your home when friends and family come to visit for the holidays.
Do a thorough cleaning in every room you will be decorating and your efforts will look that much better. If just reading this has made you tired, call Custom Maid at
