What to Clean in October.To help, I had the idea that maybe I should start putting together a list of all of the things that would have made this year a little easier and see if I could take care of picking up a few things to help my mission along right after Christmas this year.

I almost always pick up a few decor items on the 27th or the 28th for the next year, and maybe some wrapping paper, but I’ve always left it at that and thought that maybe I would just start my Christmas shopping a little earlier the next year.I decided that maybe it was time to up my game and really get focused with my after Christmas shopping this year so I made a list and I thought it might be nice to share it with you too, just in case you like the idea of trying to create a little more peace in your December next year too!

Here are some of the things I’ve included on our “After Christmas Stock Up” list:.The After Christmas Stock Up.
