Tip # 1 – Be a curmudgeon and just don’t celebrate the night. We do put up decorations (ones I buy at garage sales or thrift stores and reuse each year). Don’t buy, make. Search the attic, the backs of the closets, the garage and see what inspiration presents. Decorate for the next fall holiday with it.

Be ruthless in your decision-making process; if you haven’t used an item in the last year or it doesn’t hold significant sentimental value, it’s probably time to let it go. Consider hosting a garage sale or listing items online to sell. Additionally, evaluate the home’s overall security system.

Don’t clean or repair immediately. Of course, if you don’t plan to sell the item, you might want to repair it so you can actually use it or get full enjoyment from it.
