As early as September, Filipinos can already feel that Christmas is just around the corner. There are Christmas festoons hanging everywhere you go and you can hear Christmas carols sung by Jose Marie Chan. In Bacolod, there are several ways to spend the holidays. You could go devote your day at Bacolod’s Christmas Village and visit the classic Dizon-Museum. After a long day at these landmarks, you then head home and feast on your Noche Buena dinner and open your gifts. Fast forward to New Year’s Eve and you’re lighting fireworks, marveling at the streets of Bacolod, and then sharing a hearty Media Noche meal with your loved ones.

After the long holiday celebration, one question is in mind: how do I get rid of all the clutter in my house and lot in Bacolod?

Out with the old, in with the new


Since your collection of goods increases, it’s but proper to give away some of your old stuff. Start with your closet: toss out the clothes that you haven’t worn in a while and put them in boxes with labels. The same goes with your kids’ cluster of old toys. This process is a chance to do a general house cleaning and to donate at the same time. Try the ‘one-in, one-out’ rule. For every new gift received, toss one away. This is one of the most efficient ways to declutter.


Taking Down Holiday Ornaments


The Holiday season, in the Philippine context, usually ends on the Epiphany slash Three Kings Day slash 12th day of Christmas. It falls on every 6th of January. It’s also the time to take down those holiday trappings in your house and lot in Bacolod.

Those fragile Christmas balls can be put in a segmented cardboard box. Do the same with ribbons to preserve their shape. For those long lights and garlands, you can make use of cable ties to prevent tangles. Hooks and hangers are also good options for your garlands and lights.
