Holidays Decorations Storing? Thursday 2 Questions #111

by Self Sagacity at 4:12 PM
I've always wondered how and where people store all their holiday decorations. I get itchy, and irritated when there is too much stuff. It is my weakness. Even if I know it is stored away in a place I don't see everyday, it still annoys me. So I don't buy new stuff unless I can get rid of my old stuff, which I don't do often enough. I have the same deco for years, I just change it out, make it different, hang it else where. It is a brief post today, as I am logging out to scoop up kids and start the evening event of Trick -or- Treat! Have a great Halloween!  



Here are Self Sagacity's Thursday Two Questions:

1) Did you decorate for Halloween? Do you buy new decorations every year?

    We don't decorate much for Halloween but do for Christmas.

    Most of our decorations are stored under the stairs in the back of a closet. The tree and larger items are upstairs in the attic.

    Nice post, Amanda,

      We store our stuff in the attic too. Some in the garage, but mostly in a spare room.

    Amanda, hope you guys had loads of fun. My decorations, what I have left after giving most of the away, is in the attic. I don't decorate for Halloween, only Christmas.

    We don't decorate for Halloween so no need to keep the decorations. However if we do put out any decorations they go into the store room after use.

    Actually, I didn't do any decorating this year for Halloween. I didn't take the time to put out my It's a Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown figurines like I normally do. We did get a pumpkin to carve and that goes outside to decompose. As for Halloween decoration, we have very little to stash somewhere. Christmas decor is another story, but I do have it tucked away in our make shift home office (spare bedroom which is pretty much the room where everything gets stored.) One day, I hope to have lots and lots more space to neatly organize things. Thanks for hosting T2Q!

    We don't decorate for Halloween. There are some people here that have started practicing this but a larger part still does not decorate.

    It would be very tiring to decorate for Halloween then for Christmas. :(

      Yes. True. Our motivation is Trinity, she makes us live to the limit.

    I think we are twins!
    When I grow up (kids are gone ) I want a minimal house. I can't stand all the stuff. I want it packed or gone.

    1 I don't decorate for halloween. I just don't have the time.
    I only decorate for one holiday and that's christmas.

    2. I store them upstairs in a closet. I rarely visit that closet or I want to take everything out and repack it. Oy!

    Happy Thursday!

      So most people don't decorate for Halloween. That's probably the way to go, I need to just limit to one holiday.

    I don't decorate for Halloween.

    My Christmas decorations were formerly in a hallway closet. Now they are in the garage.

      We store a lot of stuff in the garage too. It's where most people store theirs too.

    We go overboard with the decorating. We have a ton of storage tubs and just shove them away in our attic when we take them down. Out of site, out of mind until next year.

    We store decorations for Halloween in our attic and pull out the same ones each year.
