Hit up a dollar store or a party supply place for hats, blowers, banners and other New Year's Eve paraphernalia.
Chuckle with the kids over the fact that Christmas music is still playing in the stores, but the Valentine's Day paraphernalia is already on display. Silly stores!

Christmas Every Day: Day 29
Millie writes:
Play all the Christmas music one last time as you take down the tree, the lights and the decorations. Eat all the candy canes.
Put back fewer of your “regular” decorations than you took away; make some space for growth. If you like, hit up a thrift store or two - see if you can score a set of throw pillows, laundry baskets or something decorative for your living room. It's nice to have something "new" in the house as you count down to the New Year, and it helps to counteract the blandness of a place newly shorn of its Christmas decor!
