Holiday decorating or cleaning frenzy?

I don't know about the rest of you, but this next week is going to be a cleaning frenzy for me. We will be putting up our christmas decor and that means I have to make room for all the holiday stuff. We even have to move the furniture around a bit to make room for the tree so all the dust bunnies who were happily snoozing in the corner will be disturbed. The unmatched earring, lone barbie shoe and stray puzzle piece that someone placed on top of the bookshelf will have to find a new home so I can put my nativity set there. I spend so much of my time cleaning that it is always amazing to me that there is any dust left ANYWHERE, but when you start moving stuff around...there it is! I think I am going to try to get a head start this year and have everything spotless before we bring the decorations down from the attic. Then maybe I can just relax and enjoy putting up the tree and lights. Do you find secret messes when you are decorating for the holidays?

I dont put my decorations up this early. I do it a couple of weeks before Christmas. And yes I move furniture around to make the tree fit. Of course there are some dust bunnies because during the year I dont pull my furniture out.

I pull my furniture out all the time but things still accumulate! I can't wait until a couple of weeks before Christmas to decorate. My kids are nagging at me to do it right now!

I don't really care about cleaning or the holiday. I have just quit my job so I have some extra time on my hands. I also hurt my back so I can't really do anything. So I've been cleaning up bit.
