After a full year of downsizing, and our second Christmas, I feel like we are getting the hang of things. This Christmas was simple, Credit free! and home based. We were so busy this past semester that being home as a family was so precious.
The new year will be another purging opportunity. Donating old, outgrown toys and organizing the rooms for more efficiency for the growing kids.
The only down side is that now, before New Years, we have already taken down Christmas. It quickly feels tight and does interrupt our daily activities. The tree goes where the dog's bed usually is. I am not sad though, it looks so much cleaner now! Fresh start for the new year.
Next year we will try to arrange Christmas in a way that is less intrusive and maybe can stay up longer.
Happy New Year! Keep it simple.
