Today is Dec. 29th so you are probably ready to say good bye to the holidays and get on with the new year. The tree will come down and the decorations will be put away.
So how do you purge?
1. Take out your holiday containers and all of those items you did not use this holiday season…put them in a bag to be donated.
2. You probably don't do this but if you do…throw away any edible decorations (i.e. candy canes). You will buy more next year.
3. Since you reduced the amount of holiday decorations, you may now have a couple empty containers. What to do? Put the decorations designated for donation into these bins and donate them as well. Less bins equals less stuff.
4. Put the holiday bins away and the tree out for recycling.
5. Complete the final step…take the donations to Goodwill, collect a receipt and put the receipt in your 2016 tax file.
Hello New Year!
