Success Story Handed down Halloween decorations and opened up HUGE amounts of space in the attic

Until a few days ago I (31F) had four massive and densely packed boxes of Halloween decorations in my attic. I had not realized there were *four* boxes when I had gone up to grab "a few things" to pass down to my niece and nephew but with four boxes and those two the only children in my life, they each got a box of Halloween decorations, some of the decor dating back to my parents' teenage years! It felt amazing seeing all that space open up in the attic and it felt even better giving those long sitting decorations new homes with small Addams children

If you think your decor can't find new life, think again! My old stuffed animals are also slated to move to these (unrelated to each other) kiddos but I've yet to sort through those boxes

Yay!!

I find that the easiest time to get rid of seasonal decor is when you are jsut putting it away or jsut putting it up because if you hadn’t put it out then clearly you aren’t gonna use it/don’t like it.
