Prior to Christmas is a great time to de-clutter and organize. It's the time to go through your closets and get rid of things that you have never or rarely worn, things that no longer fit, things that are worn out.
DONATE... DONATE... DONATE... >>>> read >>>>> TAX DEDUCTION !
Have the kids go through their clothes also. They outgrow things quickly and therefore a lot of their clothes are barely worn. Or, as kids, they tire of them very quickly and haven't worn them in forever and won't wear them anymore anyway. So donate them to someone that can use them.
Also, have the kids go through their toys and donate those that they have outgrown or don't play with anymore. Let it be their "idea" so that they feel empowered and are not upset with you for getting rid of their toys. This is a great learning experience for them.
Everyone knows that you will be getting new things for Christmas - so make room now!
You can only fit so many things into your closet so now is the time to take a realistic look at the room you have and what you have in your closet. Be honest with yourself. If you haven't worn it and it's taking up room that you don't have, get rid of it.
By getting a jump start on organizing your closet now you will be much happier after the holidays when you are trying to squish things into a crammed closet.
Remember, by de-cluttering and donating now you can get it into this years taxes.
Happy Organizing and Happy Holidays !
