Before the Halloween costumes are put on sale, many retailers have already displayed their Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations. Unfortunately this means the best selection for those items are available now and some desirable items may be sold before we are ready to use them.
One item that should be purchased early is holiday cards. Consider purchasing one style for most or all of your list to make the task easier to accomplish. Gifts that need to be sent out of town should also be purchased early so mailing deadlines can be met. This is especially true for those shipped out of the country.
Planning on using items already in the home as part of holiday decorations will save time, space and money. Adding holiday bows to candles, lamps, railings, etc. is one simple way to add color and a festive atmosphere rather than purchasing special items to fill those spaces. Planning now will make that activity easier later on in the season.
